# Delete a row

A row can be deleted from a table simply by passing the ROWID as a parameter to the `delete_row()` method. This method will return true as response on deletion of the row. 

To know more about the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/cloud-scale/data-store/get-component-instance/)`datastore_service` and the [table instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/cloud-scale/data-store/get-table-instance/)`table_service` used below, please refer to their respective help sections.

**Parameters Used**

<table class="content-table">
	<thead>
		<tr>
	  <th class="w20p">Parameter Name</th>
