# Delete Voice Samples

> Remove one or more training samples from a voice clone you own.

## Overview

Removes the specified samples from a voice clone. The voice is retrained against the remaining samples. If you remove every sample from a voice it becomes unusable for synthesis; delete the voice itself via [Delete Voice](https://docs.bland.ai/api-v1/delete/voices-id.md) if that is your intent.
