Deleting a metadata template can be achieved by calling the <Link href="/reference/delete-metadata-templates-id-id-schema">`DELETE
/metadata_templates/enterprise/:templateKey/schema`</Link> API.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_templates/enterprise/blueprintTemplate/schema" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.metadataTemplates.deleteMetadataTemplate(
    'enterprise' as DeleteMetadataTemplateScope,
    template.templateKey!,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.metadata_templates.delete_metadata_template(
      DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.ENTERPRISE, template.template_key
  )
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.MetadataTemplates.DeleteMetadataTemplateAsync(scope: DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.Enterprise, templateKey: NullableUtils.Unwrap(template.TemplateKey));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.metadataTemplates.deleteMetadataTemplate(scope: DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.enterprise, templateKey: template.templateKey!)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getMetadataTemplates().deleteMetadataTemplate(DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.ENTERPRISE, template.getTemplateKey())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  MetadataTemplate.deleteMetadataTemplate(api, "enterprise", "templateName");
  ```

  ```py Python v4 theme={null}
  client.metadata_template('enterprise', 'employeeRecord').delete()
  ```

  ```js Node v4 theme={null}
  client.metadata.deleteTemplate('enterprise', 'testtemplate', callback);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This API returns a `204 No Content` API response with no response body when
the template has been successfully deleted. This API also removes all the
template instances from any files and folders.

Only templates created within the `enterprise` scope can be deleted.

<Warning>
  **Admin permissions required**

  Deleting metadata templates is restricted to users with admin permission. This
  means that only admins, or co-admins who have been granted rights to **Create
  and edit metadata templates for your company** by the admin can use the web
  app or the API to manage templates.
</Warning>
