# Delete Cache Item

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/cache/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

Using the `delete()` SDK method, a cache item can be permanently deleted from the cache segment, when it is no longer required. The cache item (data key-value pair) cannot be restored once it is deleted, but it can be recreated.

The `segment` reference used in the code snippet below is the [segment instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/cache/get-segment-instance/).

#### Delete Cache Item Using a Key

You can delete a key by passing it directly as a parameter to the `delete()` method. The promise returned here will be resolved to an object which is a JSON.

```javascript
// delete Cache using delete by passing the key name 
const cache = new Cache(); 
const segment = cache.segment(); 
const entity = await segment.delete('Name');
console.log(entity);
```
