### deleteMemberMeta

* **deleteMemberMeta**(`params`): `Promise<void>`

Deletes the specified keys from the metadata for the specified member.

#### Parameters

<ParamField path="params" type="object" required>
  Object containing the parameters of the method.
</ParamField>

<Indent>
  <ParamField path="memberId" type="string">
    ID of the member to affect. If omitted, affects the default device in the local client.
  </ParamField>

  <ParamField path="keys" type="string[]" required>
    The keys to remove.
  </ParamField>
</Indent>

#### Returns

`Promise<void>`

#### Example

In this example, we set metadata for a member as soon as they join the room.
After 5 seconds, we remove the metadata for that member. Once the member's metadata is set or removed,
we log the metadata for that member with the `onMemberUpdated` event.
This example assumes that there is a [`RoomSession`][roomsession-41]
already active and that members are joining the room.

```js
import { SignalWire } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

// Initialize the SignalWire client
const client = await SignalWire({ project: "ProjectID Here", token: "Token Here" })

// Access the video client from the main client
const videoClient = client.video;

// Setup listener for when a room starts
await videoClient.listen({
  onRoomStarted: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room started", roomSession.displayName);
    await roomSession.listen({
      // Listen for when a member joins the room
      onMemberJoined: async (member) => {
        console.log("Member joined", member.name);

        // set metadata for the member
        console.log("Setting metadata for member", member.name);
        await roomSession.setMemberMeta({
          memberId: member.id,
          meta: {
            name: member.name,
            foo: "red"
          }
        })

        // remove metadata for the member in 5 seconds
        setTimeout(async () => {
          console.log("Removing metadata for member", member.name);
          await roomSession.deleteMemberMeta({
            memberId: member.id,
            keys: ["foo"]
          })
        }, 5000)
      },
      onMemberUpdated: async (member) => {
        // Listen for when a member updates their metadata
        console.log("Member updated", member.name);
        console.log(`Meta data for ${member.name}\n ${JSON.stringify( member.meta, null, 2)}`)
      },
    });
  },
  onRoomEnded: async (roomSession) => {
    console.log("Room ended", roomSession.displayName);
  }
});
