# cPanel API 2 Functions - Branding::delpkg

Warning:
The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We **strongly** recommend that you use [UAPI](/cpanel/introduction) instead of cPanel API 2.

## Description

This function deletes a branding package.

div
Note:

cPanel API 2's `Branding` module **only** modifies data for the x3 theme. We removed the x3 theme. For more information, read our cPanel Deprecation Plan documentation.

Warning:
We **strongly** recommend that you use [UAPI](/cpanel/introduction) instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

// Delete the mypkg branding package.
$delete_branding_pkg = $cpanel->api2(
    'Branding', 'delpkg',
        array(        
            'pkg'      => 'mypkg',
    )
 );
```

LiveAPI Perl Module


```undefined syntaxhighlighter-pre
my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

# Delete the mypkg branding package.
my $delete_branding_pkg = $cpliveapi->api2(
    'Branding', 'delpkg',
    {
            'pkg'      => 'mypkg',
    }
 );
```

Note:
For more information, read our [Guide to the LiveAPI System](/guides/guide-to-the-liveapi-system).

cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warnings:
- cPanel tags are **deprecated**. We **strongly** recommend that you **only** use the [LiveAPI](/guides/guide-to-the-liveapi-system) system to call the cPanel APIs. Examples are **only** present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our [LiveAPI](/guides/guide-to-the-liveapi-system).
- cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary in code syntax and in their output.
- For more information, read our [Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage](/cpanel-api-2/cpanel-api-2-deprecate-cpanel-tag-usage) documentation.
