# Delete Identity Provider

Deletes the specified identity provider.  When calling this API, the identity provider will not be immediately deleted. Instead, its status will be changed to `DELETE_IN_PROGRESS` and a background job will be scheduled to delete the identity provider and any associated resources.  Once all the resources associated with the identity provider have been deleted, the identity provider will be physically deleted by the background job.

**Note**: Only enterprise identity providers can be deleted.
