# CRUD: Delete an amendment

Invoiced amendments cannot usually be deleted. One exception to this rule is auto-renew amendments. You can delete the last auto-renew amendment even if an invoice has been generated.

Endpoint: DELETE /v1/object/amendment/{id}
Version: 2026-09-11

## Path parameters:

  - `id` (string, required)
    Object id

## Header parameters:

  - `Accept-Encoding` (string)
    Include the `Accept-Encoding: gzip` header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response. 

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a `Content-Encoding` header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

  - `Content-Encoding` (string)
    Include the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

  - `Authorization` (string)
    The value is in the `Bearer {token}` format where {token} is a valid OAuth token generated by calling [Create an OAuth token](https://developer.zuora.com/api-references/api/operation/createToken).

  - `Zuora-Entity-Ids` (string)
    An entity ID. If you have [Zuora Multi-entity](https://docs.zuora.com?resourceId=platform-multi-entity-overview) enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you do not need to set this header.

  - `Zuora-Track-Id` (string)
    A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (`:`), semicolon (`;`), double quote (`"`), and quote (`'`).

## Response 200 fields (application/json):

  - `RateLimit-Remaining` (number)
    The number of requests remaining in the time window closest to quota exhaustion. See [rate limits](https://developer.zuora.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/) for more information.

    Error message.
If the error message is "Authentication error", ensure that the `Authorization` request header contains valid authentication credentials, then retry the request. See [Authentication](https://developer.zuora.com/rest-api/general-concepts/authentication/) for more information.
If the error message is "Failed to get user info", retry the request.
