# Delete Zipcode

<font color="#f5222d">`DELETE`</font>  `/zipcodes`

To delete zipcodes from your account you should make an  `HTTP DELETE`  request to the Delete Zipcodes endpoint, specifying an array of objects containing a  `zipcode`  and  `domain`  property describing the zipcodes you'd like to delete.

Zipcodes can also be deleted visually via the [Dashboard](https://app.rainforestapi.com/zipcodes).

**Zipcode Deletion & Collections**
Note that when a zipcode is deleted any requests using that zipcode in their  `customer_zipcode`  parameter will fail. This includes any requests that use this zipcode and are part of Collections you may already have set up on your account.

For more information about using zip & postal codes with Rainforest API please see the [zipcodes overview](https://docs.trajectdata.com/rainforestapi/zipcodes-api/overview).
