# Delete Theme Asset

> Delete a file from a theme

Permanently removes a file from the theme.

**Auth:** OAuth access token with the `write_themes` scope.

<Warning>
  Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. If the theme is live, the file
  stops being served straight away — duplicate the theme and delete from the
  copy if you are testing.
</Warning>
