# Delete index

Available in VPC

Delete the latest index for a media asset. Since only one latest index is retained per asset, this operation deletes the latest index for the asset without specifying an index ID.

              Note

              

- Only the latest index for which analysis is complete can be deleted. If analysis is in progress, a `409` error will be returned.
- Deleted indexes cannot be restored. Sub-results linked to the index, such as scene summaries, will also be cleared.
