## Why Delete an Ad?

When you are managing flights and campaigns, you may find it necessary to delete an existing ad associated with a flight. Removing this ad removes the ad from the flight, and it will no longer be part of the flight and campaign.

> 📘
> ### Note
> The Delete Ad API call deletes the ad; however, please note that the creative remains at the advertiser level, allowing you to use the ad in the future.

## API Syntax

When using the Delete Ad API call, it is important to understand the syntax required to make the request. Because the Kevel API is a RESTful API, there is a specific request format that must be followed to ensure the endpoint can process the request. The format is:

- `GET` \- the type of API request being made.
- `https://api.kevel.co` \- the URL for the request.
- `v1` \- the API version.

- `FlightID` \- the ID of the flight.
