# Delete a contract

> Delete a specific contract by including the `id` of the contract as a path parameter.

Include the `id` of the contract as a path parameter to delete information for that specific contract.

If you have multiple active contracts for the same carrier and you delete the default contract, we will automatically pick the first added contract as the new default.

If you delete the last contract for a specific carrier, we will disable this carrier and its shipping options to prevent that you will accidentally use Sendcloud's transactional rates.
