# Delete Custom Entity Attribute

Deletes an attribute of the tenant's own from the definition of the Custom Entity named
`customEntityDenominator`, within the request: every item of it loses its value for the
attribute, in every language, and it leaves the form, the Excel views and whatever else hangs
from it. No snapshot is taken before: nothing keeps its values. The attributes of the
platform's own cannot be deleted.
## Response
**204 No Content** — the attribute is deleted. **409 Conflict** — it belongs to the platform,
or its deletion is already pending.
## Example

```http
DELETE /Metadata/CustomEntities('example')/attributes('vcrj_note') HTTP/1.1
X-API-KEY: your-api-key-here
```
