# Delete a Row

Catalyst Android SDK enables you to delete a single row from a specific [Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction) table. However, you will not be able to delete multiple rows at a time.

You can delete a row from a table in either of these two methods:

### Delete a Row by passing the Row ID to the Table Instance

You can delete a row from a table by passing the ROWID of the row as the argument to the `deleteRow()` method, as shown in the code syntax below.

The `<TABLE_INSTANCE>` used in the code syntax below is the instance defined in the [Table Instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/android/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/create-table-instance).

```bash
<TABLE_INSTANCE>.deleteRow(
    rowId: Long,
    success: () → Unit,
    failure: ((ZCatalystException) → Unit)?
): ZCatalystRequest<Unit>?

```

**Parameters**:

* `rowId`: The [unique ROWID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/records/#create-a-new-record) of the row to be deleted.

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getDataStoreInstance().getTableInstance("Project").deleteRow(2823000000098007, //Replace this with your table name and the ROWID of the row
    {
        println("Row deleted successfully $it")
    },
    {
        exception -> println("Delete Row failed $exception")
    })

```

### Delete a Row by passing the Row Instance

You can delete a row from a table simply by calling the `delete()` method for the row instance.

The `<ROW_INSTANCE>` used in the code syntax below is the instance defined in the [Row Instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/android/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/create-row-instance).

```bash
<ROW_INSTANCE>.delete(
    success: () → Unit,
    failure: ((ZCatalystException) → Unit)?
): ZCatalystRequest<Unit>?

```

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getDataStoreInstance().getTableInstance("EmployeeDetails").getRow(2823000000095003, //Replace this with your table name and the ROWID of the row
    { row -> row.delete(
        { 
            println("Row deleted successfully")
        },
        { 
            exception -> println("Delete row failed $exception")
        }
    )},
    {
        exception -> println("Exception occured $exception")

    })

```
