# Delete semantic entries

Delete a semantic entry in the knowledge base.

```text
DELETE https://moi.matrixorigin.cn/newmoi/semantic-models/{model_id}/entries/{entry_id}
```

## Preparation before calling

First [query the semantic entry](list-semantic-entries.md) to obtain the entry ID to be deleted. Prepare a personal access token and target workspace ID that has access to the target workspace.

The example below uses:

- `$AI_STUDIO_API_KEY`: The actual personal access token, passed through the `X-API-Key` Header.
- `$WORKSPACE_ID`: Target workspace ID, passed through `X-Workspace-ID` Header.
- `$MODEL_ID`: Knowledge Base ID.
- `$ENTRY_ID`: ID of the semantic entry to delete.

## Request example

```bash
curl -X DELETE "https://moi.matrixorigin.cn/newmoi/semantic-models/$MODEL_ID/entries/$ENTRY_ID" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AI_STUDIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Workspace-ID: $WORKSPACE_ID"
```

## Path parameters

| Parameters | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `model_id` | integer | Knowledge base ID. |
| `entry_id` | integer | ID of the semantic entry to delete. |

## Successful response

Returns `200` on success. After deletion, the verification interface should be called to confirm that the remaining definitions are still valid.

```json
{
  "code": "OK",
  "msg": "OK",
  "data": {
    "deleted": true
  }
}
```

The response fields are as follows.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `code` | string | `OK` on success. |
| `msg` | string | `OK` on success. |
| `data.deleted` | boolean | `true` indicates that the entry has been deleted. |

## Error response

```json
{
  "code": "ErrNotFound",
  "msg": "resource not found",
  "data": null
}
```
