# Uninstall a component from websites

POST https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/components/{component}/uninstall
Content-Type: application/json

Deletes one plugin or theme, files included, from the websites you list in `sites`. It runs at once, with no confirmation step. Only inactive items can be deleted: deactivate the item first with "Activate or deactivate a component on websites".

It creates one site action per website that passes the checks. The work finishes later: see [Writes and asynchronous operations](https://api.docs.modulards.com/writes-and-asynchronous-operations). Follow the site actions with "List site actions". Websites that cannot be processed are reported in `meta.skipped`, each with a `reason_code` and a message, and do not fail the call. A website is skipped, with `UNSUPPORTED`, when the item is still active or cannot be deleted: WordPress itself, the Modular Connector plugin and the theme in use are never deleted. It is also skipped when it is not connected (`SITE_UNREACHABLE`), does not have the component, hides its update notice, or already has too many pending or running actions.

**Body**
- `sites` (array of integers, required): ids of the websites to act on, 1 to 50.

**Errors**
- **404**: the component is not installed on any of your websites.
- **422**: `sites` is missing, empty, has more than 50 ids, or contains an id that matches no website.
