# delete Method - Data Model Repository Reference

The `delete` method of a data model repository deletes one or more records of the data model.

This reference assumes you've already resolved the data model repository, as explained in the [Data Model Repository Reference](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/data-model-repository-reference) documentation.

## `delete` Parameters

- filters: (\`object\`) The filters to select the records to delete. The keys are the property names of the data model, and the values are the values to filter by.

***

## Delete Record by ID

As of [Medusa v2.11.0](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/releases/tag/v2.11.0), MikroORM dependencies are included in the `@medusajs/framework` package. If you're using an older version of Medusa, change the import statement to `@mikro-orm/knex`.

```ts
import { 
  InjectTransactionManager,
  MedusaContext,
  MedusaService,
  InjectManager,
} from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { Context, InferTypeOf, DAL } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
import { EntityManager } from "@medusajs/framework/mikro-orm/knex"
import Post from "./models/post"

class BlogModuleService extends MedusaService({
  Post,
}){
  // ...
  @InjectTransactionManager()
  protected async doSomething_(
    id: string,
    @MedusaContext() sharedContext?: Context<EntityManager>
  ): Promise<any> {
    const deletedIds = await this.postRepository_.delete({
      id,
    })

    return deletedIds
  }

  @InjectManager()
  async doSomething(
    id: string,
    @MedusaContext() sharedContext?: Context<EntityManager>
  ): Promise<any> {
    return await this.doSomething_(id, sharedContext)
  }
}
```

### Parameters

The `delete` method accepts an object of filters to select the records to delete.

In the example above, you pass an object with the `id` property to delete a record by its ID.

### Returns

The method returns an array of strings, each representing the ID of a deleted record.

***

## Delete Records by Filters

```ts
import { 
  InjectTransactionManager,
  MedusaContext,
  MedusaService,
  InjectManager,
} from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
import { Context, InferTypeOf, DAL } from "@medusajs/framework/types"
import { EntityManager } from "@medusajs/framework/mikro-orm/knex"
import Post from "./models/post"

class BlogModuleService extends MedusaService({
  Post,
}){
  // ...
  @InjectTransactionManager()
  protected async doSomething_(
    id: string,
    @MedusaContext() sharedContext?: Context<EntityManager>
  ): Promise<any> {
    const deletedIds = await this.postRepository_.delete({
      title: "My Post",
    })

    return deletedIds
  }

  @InjectManager()
  async doSomething(
    id: string,
    @MedusaContext() sharedContext?: Context<EntityManager>
  ): Promise<any> {
    return await this.doSomething_(id, sharedContext)
  }
}
```

### Parameters

Since the `delete` method accepts an object of filters, you can pass any property of the data model as a filter.

In the example above, you pass an object with the `title` property to delete all records with that title.

Find examples of different filters in the [Filter Records](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/data-model-repository-reference/tips/filtering) documentation.

### Returns

The method returns an array of strings, each representing the ID of a deleted record.
