Note: Using `clerkClient` varies based on the SDK you're using. Refer to the [overview](/content/docs/reference/backend/overview/index.html) for usage details, including guidance on [how to access the `userId` and other properties](/content/docs/reference/backend/overview#example-get-the-user-id-and-other-properties/index.html).

const allowlistIdentifierId = 'alid_123'

const response =

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint `DELETE/allowlist-identifiers/{identifier_id}`. See the [BAPI reference⁠](/content/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/allow-list--block-list/DELETE/allowlist_identifiers/%7Bidentifier_id%7D/index.html) for more information.
