# delete

> Release a phone number from the project.

Release (delete) a phone number from the project.

### Schema

```yaml
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: API
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  /api/relay/rest/phone_numbers/{id}:
    delete:
      operationId: subpackagePhoneNumbers_release_phone_number
      summary: Release phone number
      description: >-
        Releases a project-owned phone number by ID, removing it from the
        project. Use it only when the number should no longer be owned; deleting
        a handler resource or removing its E911 assignment does not release the
        number. Compatibility Incoming Phone Numbers use their own delete
        operation.
