# Destroy delegate access tokens through the GraphQL Admin API API

As of \*\* 2023-01 \*\* version on the Admin GraphQL schema, you can use the DelegateAccessTokenDestroy mutation to delete the delegate tokens created by the API client.

For app architectures that use delegate tokens from multiple subsystems, this makes it easy to remove those delegate tokens that are unused or leaked for better application security.
