# VaultDelete

[[Source]](https://github.com/Bronek/rippled/blob/vault/src/xrpld/app/tx/detail/VaultDelete.cpp)

Attention
Lending Protocol and Single Asset Vaults are disabled on Devnet. You have two options for testing these features:

1. Run `rippled` in [stand-alone mode](https://xrpl.org/docs/concepts/networks-and-servers/rippled-server-modes#stand-alone-mode) and enable `LendingProtocol` and `SingleAssetVault` in the [rippled.cfg file](https://xrpl.org/docs/infrastructure/testing-and-auditing/test-amendments).
2. Connect to the Lending Protocol-specific Devnet at `https://lend.devnet.rippletest.net:51234/`.


Permanently deletes an existing `Vault` object from the ledger, removes all associated ledger entries, and returns the owner reserve to the Vault Owner.

Only the Vault Owner can initiate this transaction, and the vault must be completely empty before deletion.

*(Requires the [Single Asset Vault amendment](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/tree/master/XLS-0065-single-asset-vault) )*

##   Fields

In addition to the [common fields](https://xrpl.org/docs/references/protocol/transactions/common-fields#transaction-common-fields),  transactions use the following fields:

| Field Name | JSON Type | Internal Type | Required? | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `VaultID` | String | Hash256 | Yes | The unique identifier of the vault that needs to be deleted. |


##  Flags

There are no flags defined for  transactions.

## Error Cases

Besides errors that can occur for all transactions, VaultCreate transactions can result in the following [transaction result codes](https://xrpl.org/docs/references/protocol/transactions/transaction-results):

| Error Code | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| `tecNO_ENTRY` | The `Vault` object with the provided `VaultID` does not exist on the ledger. |
| `tecNO_PERMISSION` | The account submitting the transaction is not the `Owner` of the vault. |
| `tecHAS_OBLIGATIONS` | The vault to be deleted is connected to objects that cannot be deleted in the ledger. For example, the owner directory of the vault's pseudo-account contains references to any objects other than the vault, shares, or assets. |
