# DELETE: Delete a Profile
<a name="delete-a-profile"></a>

Delete the specified profile.

You must first verify that the profile is not being used: do a GET Channel List and make sure this profile is not associated with any channel. If it is, do a PUT Channel on that channel so that the channel uses a different profile before you delete this profile.

## Request URL
<a name="delete-a-profile-http-request-response-url"></a>

```

If you are implementing user authentication, you must also include three authorization headers; see [Header Content for User Authentication](header-content-user.md).

## Example
