## Delete voice

**delete** `/audio/voices/{voice_id}`

Deletes a voice created from a text prompt or an audio sample.

Requires voice write permission and access to the voice's project. Access to voices created from recordings is limited to eligible customers. See the [custom voices guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/custom-voices).

Deleting a voice does not delete its consent recording. Deleting an already deleted voice returns a 404 error.
