# Delete Domains

Domain deletion permanently removes the domain from your ownership and returns it to the global namespace. Once deleted, the domain becomes available for anyone to register, meaning **you lose all control and access to it**. 

{% hint style="info" %}
**Deleting a domain is irreversible, and will cause you to lose ownership of the subdomains and records related to the domain. We do not recommend deleting domains, proceed at your own risk.** 
{% endhint %}

```typescript
import {
  getDomainKeySync,
  NAME_PROGRAM_ID,
  deleteInstruction,
} from "@bonfida/spl-name-service";

const domain = "bonfida.sol"; // With or without .sol

// Owner public key
const owner = new PublicKey("...")

const { pubkey: domainKey } = getDomainKeySync(domain);

const ix = deleteInstruction(
  NAME_PROGRAM_ID,
  domainKey,
  owner,
  owner
);

// sign and send instruction...
```
