+## Delete Document
+
+`delete()` method allows you to delete a document previously added to the app.
+
+### Usage
+
+```python
+from embedchain import App
+
+app = App()
+
+forbes_doc_id = app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk")
+wiki_doc_id = app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
+
+app.delete(forbes_doc_id)   # deletes the forbes document
+```
+
+<Note>
+    If you do not have the document id, you can use `app.db.get()` method to get the document and extract the `hash` key from `metadatas` dictionary object, which serves as the document id.
+</Note>
+
+
