# DeleteCharacteristicCommandRequestInput

> Deletes a characteristic together with its values, their texts and images and its group assignments. A characteristic whose values are still assigned to items is refused (error code CHARACTERISTIC_IS_IN_USE, the blockers name the number of items) unless 'removeItemAssignments' is true: then the values are taken away from all items first. Online shops that received the characteristic are told to remove it. The items themselves are never deleted. Errors: CHARACTERISTIC_NOT_FOUND (no characteristic has this ID); CHARACTERISTIC_IS_IN_USE (items still have a value of the characteristic and 'removeItemAssignments' is not true). - Request
