# Delete a Secret

Deletes a secret from the secret store by name and scope.

## Returns

Returns the deleted secret object.

## Parameters

- `name` (string, required)
  A name for the secret that’s unique within the scope.

- `scope` (object, required)
  Specifies the scoping of the secret. Requests originating from UI extensions can only access account-scoped secrets or secrets scoped to their own user.

  - `scope.type` (enum, required)
    The secret scope type.
Possible enum values:
    - `account`
      A secret scoped to an account. Use this for API keys or other secrets that should be accessible by all UI Extension contexts.

    - `user`
      A secret scoped to a specific user. Use this for oauth tokens or other per-user secrets. If this is set, `scope.user` must also be set.

  - `scope.user` (string, optional)
    The user ID. This field is required if `type` is set to `user`, and should not be provided if `type` is set to `account`.
