###  Responses

If a ` DELETE ` method is successfully applied, there are several response
status codes possible:

  * A [ ` 202 ` ](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/202) ( ` Accepted ` ) status code if the action will likely succeed but has not yet been enacted. 
  * A [ ` 204 ` ](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/204) ( ` No Content ` ) status code if the action has been enacted and no further information is to be supplied. 
  * A [ ` 200 ` ](/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/200) ( ` OK ` ) status code if the action has been enacted and the response message includes a representation describing the status.
