# Delete DHCP Scope
## Endpoint
`/api/dhcp/scopes/delete`
Obsolete path: `/api/deleteDhcpScope`
## Method
GET
## Description
Permanently deletes the DHCP scope from the disk. This removes the scope configuration and all associated data. This action cannot be undone.
## Authentication
Required. Token must have **DhcpServer: Delete** permission.
## Parameters
| `token` | string | Yes | No | The session token generated by the `login` or the `createToken` call. |
| `name` | string | Yes | No | The name of the DHCP scope to delete. |
## Response Fields
Empty response object on success.
## Conditional Logic Notes
- None. This is a simple destructive operation.
## Edge Cases
- The documentation states the scope is deleted "from the disk," meaning this is a permanent deletion of the scope's configuration file.
- It is not documented whether the scope must be disabled before deletion, or whether an enabled scope can be deleted directly.
- Existing active leases may become orphaned after deletion; the behavior for clients attempting to renew leases from a deleted scope is not documented.
- The scope must exist; behavior when targeting a nonexistent scope is not documented.
