# Delete Cron

This SDK method can be used to delete a particular [cron](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/introduction/). This can be done by passing the [`cron id`](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/key-concepts/#cron-id) or name to the `deleteCron()` SDK method.

> **Note:** You can use this method to update details of both [Pre-Defined Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/) and [Dynamic Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/).

#### Sample Code Snippet

ZCCronDetails deletedCronA = jobScheduling.cron.deleteCron(123456789l); // delete cron with cron Id
ZCCronDetails deletedCronB = jobScheduling.cron.deleteCron("test_cron"); // delete cron with cron name

```
