==== Path Parameters

The request body should contain an array of parameter IDs that you want to delete.

`param_id`::
(Required, string) An id of parameter to delete.

Here is an example of a DELETE request to delete a parameter by its ID:

[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
DELETE /api/synthetics/params/param_id1
--------------------------------------------------

[[parameters-delete-response-example]]
==== Response Example

The API response includes information about the deleted parameters, where each entry in the response array contains the following attributes:

- `id` (string): The unique identifier of the deleted parameter.
- `deleted` (boolean): Indicates whether the parameter was successfully deleted (`true` if deleted, `false` if not).

Here's an example response for deleting multiple parameters:

[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
[
  {
    "id": "param1-id",
    "deleted": true
  }
]
--------------------------------------------------

==== Bulk delete parameters
To delete multiple parameters, you can send a POST request to `/api/synthetics/params/_bulk_delete`  with an array of parameter IDs to delete via body.

Here is an example of a POST request to delete multiple parameters:

[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /api/synthetics/params/_bulk_delete
{
  "ids": ["param1-id", "param2-id"]
}
--------------------------------------------------
