# Delete Items from NoSQL Table

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/nosql/delete-item/) now.

You can delete items from a [NoSQL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/introduction/) table in Catalyst by identifying them using the [primary keys](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/components/#table-keys) of the table. For instance, you use just the partition key, or a combination of the partition key and sort key of the table, to identify an item.

> **Note:** Catalyst enables you to delete a maximum of 25 items in bulk from a NoSQL table with a single SDK operation.

The delete operation is performed using the `deleteItems()` method as shown in the example below. The item with the partition key `fruit` matching "apple" is deleted. The `no-sql library` from  the `zcatalyst-sdk-node package` is required to define NoSQL items.

```javascript
const { NoSQLItem } = require('zcatalyst-sdk-node/lib/no-sql');
//Delete a NoSQL item from the table with partition key "fruit" and the value matching "apple"
const deletedItems = await table.deleteItems({
//Specify the partition key value of the item to be deleted
keys: NoSQLItem.from({ fruit: 'apple' })
});
```
