# Delete model

> The **Delete Model** activity uses the Form Recognizer [Delete Model](https://westus2.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/form-recognizer-api/operations/DeleteCustomModel) API to delete a specified model (**Model Id**).

The **Delete Model** activity uses the Form Recognizer [Delete Model](https://westus2.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/form-recognizer-api/operations/DeleteCustomModel) API to delete a specified model (**Model Id**).

## How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (that is, the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the [Setup](https://docs.uipath.com/marketplace/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/microsoft-azure-form-recognizer-setup#setup) steps.
2. Add the [Azure Form Recognizer Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/marketplace/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/microsoft-azure-form-recognizer-scope#azure-form-recognizer-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add an activity or run an external process that outputs the model identifier (e.g., [Train Model](https://docs.uipath.com/marketplace/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/microsoft-azure-form-recognizer-train-model#train-model), [Get Models](https://docs.uipath.com/marketplace/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/microsoft-azure-form-recognizer-get-models#get-models)).
4. Add the **Delete Model** activity inside the **Azure Form Recognizer Scope** activity.
5. Enter values for the [Input](https://docs.uipath.com/marketplace/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/microsoft-azure-form-recognizer-delete-model#input) properties.
6. Run the activity.
   * Your input properties are sent to the [Delete Model](https://westus2.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/form-recognizer-api/operations/DeleteCustomModel) API.
   * The API operation deletes the specified model.
