# The `cartDeliveryAddressesUpdate` mutation now supports removing all addresses from a cart

To clear all delivery addresses associated with a cart, you can now call the [`cartDeliveryAddressesUpdate` mutation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/mutations/cartDeliveryAddressesUpdate) and set `addresses` to an empty array(`[]`).

Previously, to clear a cart’s addresses, you could call the [`cartBuyerIdentityUpdate` mutation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2025-04/mutations/cartBuyerIdentityUpdate) and set `buyerIdentity.deliveryAddressPreferences` to an empty array. However, `deliveryAddressPreferences` is deprecated.

**Action required before API version 2025-10**

Review your existing code. Starting with API version 2025-10, setting the `addresses` field of the `cartDeliveryAddressesUpdate` mutation to an empty array (`[]`) clears cart addresses. If you do not want this behavior, update your code.
