## Why Delete a Creative?  
On occasion, you may find it necessary to delete a creative so it is no longer associated with a advertiser; or you may wish to delete it because the creative is no longer needed. The Kevel API enables you to delete a creative, and all of its associations with advertisers, with a simple update to the creative using the Update Creative API.

## API Syntax  
To delete a creative, you only need to use the existing [Update Creative](https://dev.kevel.co/v1.0/reference/creative#update-creative) endpoint and set the `isDeleted` field to `true`.

JavaScript

```javascript
const Adzerk = require('@adzerk/management-sdk');
const apiKey = process.env.ADZERK_API_KEY;

async function deleteCreative() {
  let specifications = await Adzerk.fetchSpecifications();
  let client = await Adzerk.buildClient({apiKey, specifications});

let creative = await client.run("creative", "update", {id: 12345, isDeleted: true});
  console.log(creative);
}

deleteCreative();
```

Ruby

```ruby
require "adzerk"

def delete_creative()
    client = Adzerk::Client.new(ENV["ADZERK_API_KEY"])
    creative_id = 12345
    pp client.creatives.delete(creative_id)
end
delete_creative()
```
