# Delete Encrypted Items

You can delete items from an encrypted index using `delete()`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={null}
  index.delete(["item1", "item2"], index_key=index_key)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>This operation is irreversible. Once you delete an item, you cannot recover it.</Warning>
