# Delete a Determining Attribute You can delete determining attributes one at a time using this method. The call is defined as ‘DELETE’ instead of ‘POST’ or ‘PATCH’.

The determining attribute ID shown above is for the ‘data\_block\_based’ seen below. Prior to deletion, you can see the determining attribute in TDO.

The body of the message is the same as for ‘get details’ API’s. ``` { "context": { "user": "mbj_test", "password": "xxxx", "project": { "name": "imp_payments_demo", "version": "1.0" } } } ``` When run, the message only shows the successful completion of the call.

Checking the determining attributes list in TDO, this attribute is no longer present.
