> API Reference / Endpoints / Delete compute endpoint

## DELETE /projects/{project_id}/endpoints/{endpoint_id}

Deletes the specified compute endpoint.
A compute endpoint is a Neon compute instance.
Deleting a compute endpoint drops existing network connections to the compute endpoint.
The deletion is completed when the last operation in the chain finishes successfully.

An `endpoint_id` has an `ep-` prefix.
For information about compute endpoints, see [Manage computes](https://neon.com/docs/manage/endpoints/).


### Parameters

- `project_id` (string, path, required)
  The Neon project ID
- `endpoint_id` (string, path, required)
  The endpoint ID

### Errors

**default**
General Error.

The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code,
and whether a response was received.

- If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred.
- In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results.

The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**.
The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout.

Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry.

Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.

- `request_id` (string, optional)
  Unique identifier for the request, useful for debugging.
  You can set this value manually by including an `X-Request-ID` header in the request. If not provided, the value will be generated automatically.
  
- `code` (string, required)
  Default: ``
- `message` (string, required)
  Error message
