## Delete Vectors

`client.VectorStores.Delete(ctx, vectorStoreName, body) (*VectorStoreDeleteResponse, error)`

**post** `/v5/vector-stores/{vector_store_name}/delete`

Delete documents from a vector store by document IDs or metadata filter criteria.

**Delete by IDs:** Provide an array of document IDs to delete specific documents. Non-existent documents
are silently skipped.

**Delete by Filter:** Use metadata filters to delete all documents matching the specified criteria (e.g.,
delete all documents where `status: "archived"`). The filter must specify at least one condition and cannot
be empty. To delete all documents, use the drop endpoint instead.

**Filter Operators:** Supports MongoDB-style operators including equality (`{"field": "value"}`),
comparison (`$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$eq`, `$ne`), logical (`$and`, `$or`, `$not`),
and membership (`$in`, `$nin`). Only indexed metadata fields can be used for filtering.

**Best Practice:** Use the count endpoint with the same filter to preview the number of documents that
will be deleted before executing the deletion operation.

### Parameters

- `vectorStoreName string`

  The name of the vector store

- `body VectorStoreDeleteParams`

  - `Filter param.Field[map[string, any]]`

    Metadata filter expression for deletion

  - `IDs param.Field[[]string]`

    Array of document IDs to delete

### Returns

- `type VectorStoreDeleteResponse struct{…}`

  Response for delete operation.

  - `DeletedCount int64`

    Number of documents deleted

### Example

```go
package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"

)

func main() {
  client := sgpdev.NewClient(
    option.WithAPIKey("My API Key"),
    option.WithAccountID("My Account ID"),
  )
  vectorStore, err := client.VectorStores.Delete(
    context.TODO(),
    "vector_store_name",
    sgpdev.VectorStoreDeleteParams{

    },
  )
  if err != nil {
    panic(err.Error())
  }
  fmt.Printf("%+v\n", vectorStore.DeletedCount)
}
```

#### Response

```json
{
  "deleted_count": 0
