# Delete Scene Index

> Delete a scene index from a video

Remove a scene index from a video, freeing up resources used by that index.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  import videodb

  conn = videodb.connect(api_key="your_api_key")
  coll = conn.get_collection()
  video = coll.get_videos()[0]

  # Delete scene index
  video.delete_scene_index("scene_index_id")

  print("Scene index deleted")
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  import { connect } from 'videodb';

  const conn = connect({ apiKey: 'your_api_key' });
  const coll = await conn.getCollection();
  const videos = await coll.getVideos();
  const video = videos[0];

  // Delete scene index
  await video.deleteSceneIndex('scene_index_id');

  console.log('Scene index deleted');
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  * Deleting a scene index is irreversible
  * All scene records and visual embeddings are removed
  * You can create a new index to replace it if needed
  * Existing scene collections are not affected by deleting the index
</Warning>
