# DELETE Delete an extra choice image

Clears one of a choice's two picture slots and deletes the stored file, returning a receipt naming what was removed and the extra as it now stands. Requires `customisers:write` and an `Idempotency-Key`. Deleting from a slot that holds no image answers 404. Nothing is refused: a choice with no picture is the state every extra created over this API starts in, and the customer customiser draws such a choice as its label. The delete clears the customiser's cached storefront configuration and runs the advisory language sync, and never regenerates Shopify products, product images, or the product cache.
