# Delete a sequence email

> Permanently removes one email from a sequence.

**Warning:** subscribers already queued to receive the deleted email will skip it — they'll continue to the next email in sequence order. This is intentional and not retryable. If subscribers need to receive the email's content, send a broadcast or re-add subscribers to the sequence (with `repeat: true`) before deleting.

If you want to pause rather than delete, use [Update a sequence email](/api-reference/sequence-emails/update-a-sequence-email) with `published: false` instead.
