# Delete a Voice Clone

> Remove a cloned voice using the Python SDK.

Delete a previously created voice clone via the Python SDK.

You can access the source code for the Python SDK on our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/smallest-inc/smallest-python-sdk).

## Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

* Python (3.9 or higher) installed on your machine.
* An API key from the Smallest AI [platform](https://app.smallest.ai/dashboard/settings/apikeys?utm_source=documentation\&utm_medium=voice-cloning).

## Setup

### Install our SDK

```bash theme={null}
pip install smallestai
```

Set your API key as an environment variable.

```bash theme={null}
export SMALLEST_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
```

## Delete your Voice

The Smallest AI SDK allows you to delete your cloned voice. This feature is available both synchronously and asynchronously, making it flexible for different use cases. Below are examples of how to use this functionality.

### Synchronously

<CodeGroup>
  ```python python  theme={null}
  from smallestai.waves import WavesClient

  def main():
      client = WavesClient(api_key="SMALLEST_API_KEY")
      res = client.delete_voice(voice_id="voice_id")
      print(res)

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      main()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Asynchronously

<CodeGroup>
  ```python python theme={null}
  import asyncio
  from smallestai.waves import AsyncWavesClient

  async def main():
      client = AsyncWavesClient(api_key="SMALLEST_API_KEY")
      res = await client.delete_voice(voice_id="voice_id")
      print(res)

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      asyncio.run(main())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Parameters

* `api_key`: Your API key (can be set via SMALLEST\_API\_KEY environment variable).
* `voice_id`: Unique Voice ID of the voice to be deleted.
