# Remove a section restriction

Use this endpoint to remove a restriction added with [`POST /catalog/section/restriction/{id}`](/stellic-partner-api/catalog-sections/add-a-restriction-to-a-section.md). Send the restriction's `{id}`, not the section's. The restriction is deleted permanently, and its `{id}` can be reused.

## DELETE /catalog/section/restriction/{id}

```

#### What happens after the call

* The restriction is deleted right away. From each student's next catalog view, registration, or drop, it no longer applies, and seats it reserved return to the general pool.
* The student sets it used stay in place for other restrictions.

#### Notes

* **A second `DELETE` returns 404.** If "already gone" is fine for your workflow, treat that 404 as success.
