# Use `DeleteAsset` with an Amazon SDK or CLI
`DeleteAsset`

The following code examples show how to use `DeleteAsset`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

------
#### [ CLI ]

**Amazon CLI**  
**To delete an asset**  
The following `delete-asset` example deletes a wind turbine asset.  

```
aws iotsitewise delete-asset \
    --asset-id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-33333EXAMPLE
```
Output:  

```
{
    "assetStatus": {
        "state": "DELETING"
    }
}
```
For more information, see [Deleting assets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-sitewise/latest/userguide/delete-assets-and-models.html#delete-assets) in the *Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide*.

     * @return a {@link CompletableFuture} that represents a {@link DeleteAssetResponse} result. The calling code can
     *         attach callbacks, then handle the result or exception by calling {@link CompletableFuture#join()} or

     *         it available to the calling code as a {@link CompletionException}. By calling
     *         {@link CompletionException#getCause()}, the calling code can access the original exception.
