# Delete a token

Deleting a token marks a token as deleted, though it will remain in the ledger. The operation must be signed by the specified Admin Key of the Token. If the Admin Key is not set, the Transaction will result in TOKEN\_IS\_IMMUTABlE. Once deleted update, mint, burn, wipe, freeze, unfreeze, grant KYC, revoke KYC and token transfer transactions will resolve to TOKEN\_WAS\_DELETED.

**NFTs**

You cannot delete a specific NFT. You can delete the class of the NFT specified by the token ID after you have burned all associated NFTs associated with the token class

#### Transaction Signing Requirements

* Admin key
* Transaction fee payer account key

**Transaction Fees**

* Please see the transaction and query [fees](/learn/networks/mainnet/fees#transaction-and-query-fees) table for the base transaction fee
* Please use the [Hedera fee estimator](https://hedera.com/fees) to estimate your transaction fee cost
