## Mutations

* [product​Options​Delete](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsDelete)

  mutation

  Deletes one or more [options](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductOption) from a [product](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product). Product options define the choices available for a product, such as size, color, or material.

  ***

  **Caution:** Removing an option can affect a product\&#39;s \<a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductVariant">variants\</a> and their configuration. Deleting an option might also delete associated option values and, depending on the chosen \<a href="https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productoptionsdelete#arguments-strategy">strategy\</a>, might affect variants.

  ***

  Use the `productOptionsDelete` mutation for the following use cases:

  * **Simplify product configuration**: Remove obsolete or unnecessary options (for example, discontinue "Material" if all variants are now the same material).
  * **Clean up after seasonal or limited-time offerings**: Delete options that are no longer relevant (for example, "Holiday edition").
  * **Automate catalog management**: Enable apps or integrations to programmatically remove options as product data changes.

  ***

  **Note:** The \<code>\<span class="PreventFireFoxApplyingGapToWBR">product\<wbr/>Options\<wbr/>Delete\</span>\</code> mutation enforces strict data integrity for product options and variants. All option positions must remain sequential, and every remaining option must be used by at least one variant.

  ***

  After you delete a product option, you can further manage a product's configuration using related mutations:

  * [`productOptionsCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsCreate)
  * [`productOptionUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionUpdate)
  * [`productOptionsReorder`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsReorder)
  * [`productVariantsBulkCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkCreate)
  * [`productVariantsBulkUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkUpdate)
  * [`productSet`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productSet)

  * options

    [\[ID!\]!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)

    required

    ### Arguments

    IDs of the options to delete from the product.

  * product​Id

    [ID!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)

    required

    ID of the product from which to delete the options.

  * strategy

    [Product​Option​Delete​Strategy](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/ProductOptionDeleteStrategy)

    Default:DEFAULT

    The strategy defines which behavior the mutation should observe,such as how to handle a situation where deleting an option would result in duplicate variants.
