# Delete Risk Predictor

##

```none
DELETE {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/riskPredictors/{{riskPredictorID}}
```

The `PUT {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/riskPredictors/{{riskPredictorID}}` operation deletes the custom risk predictor specified by its ID in the request URL. Only risk predictors with a `type` property value set to `MAP` can be deleted.

|   | If a risk predictor is in use by an existing risk policy, it cannot be deleted. To delete the risk predictor, you must delete the associated risk policy before attempting the delete operation. Alternatively, you can remove the usage of the predictor in the risk policy by setting the predictor's weight to 0 and removing it from the `overrides` section. For information about risk policies and risk policy sets, refer to [Risk Policies](#risk-policies). Similarly, you cannot delete a predictor that is currently used in a composite predictor. |

When successful, the `DELETE` request returns a code `204 No Content` message.
