# Delete Leave Type

> Deletes a leave type from your COR instance using its external ID

Deletes a leave type from your COR instance using its external ID. This removes both the leave type and the integration mapping. Cannot delete leave types that are currently in use by existing leave requests.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  External leave type ID that was used when creating the leave type
</ParamField>

## Request Body Requirements

<ParamField body="metadata" type="object" required>
  <Expandable title="properties">
    <ParamField body="source" type="string" required>
      Integration source identifier
    </ParamField>
  </Expandable>
</ParamField>

## Known Errors

* `LeaveTypeNotFoundError` — No leave type found with the specified external ID for this source
* `ValidationError` — Missing required `metadata.source` field
* `DeletionError` — Leave type cannot be deleted due to existing leave request associations
