# Delete an option

> Remove an option from a product.

`DELETE /rest/api/products/{productId}/product_options/{productOptionId}`

Removes the Product Option resource.

Removes an option from its product. Returns `204 No Content` on success.

> **Cascade behaviour**
>
> Deleting an option also removes its [Option Values](/api/product-management/option-values/) and recomputes the product's [Variants](/api/product-management/variants/). Review the impact on existing variants before deleting an option in use.
