# Delete Payment Card
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/carbon-calculator/documentation/use-cases/delete_payment_cards/index.md

The **Delete Payment Card** service allows the issuer to delete the registered consumer's PAN with the Carbon Calculator API.

On successful deletion, the consumer receives the message Remove paymentCardId from the system.

For the best user experience, we recommend using a method that does not require consumer to manually enter their payment card details.

## Pre-requisites {#pre-requisites}

Following are the pre-requisites for the issuer to use this service:

* To Delete the PAN from Carbon Calculator, the PAN should be registered with information.
* In the Delete Payment Card API, the Payment Card Id \[received in Add payment card API response\] is expected instead of actual PAN.
* We have to provide a Payment_Card Id in this api.
