# Remove person thumbnail

Available in VPC

Remove the specified item from thumbnails registered to a person. This is a `POST` API that uses a request body, so it can be used in HTTP client environments that do not support request bodies.

              Note

              

The [Remove person modification thumbnail](/docs/en/maiu-remove-person-thumbnail), which provides the same feature using the `DELETE` method, will continue to be available. The two APIs differ only in their request methods and URIs; the request body and response formats are identical, so select the method that best suits your environment.

## Request

This section describes the request format. The method and URI are as follows:

| Method | URI |
| --- | --- |
| POST | /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_name}/persons/{person_id}/person-thumbnail/remove |
