# DeleteLayerVersion
<a name="API_DeleteLayerVersion"></a>

Deletes a version of an [AWS Lambda layer](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html). Deleted versions can no longer be viewed or added to functions. To avoid breaking functions, a copy of the version remains in Lambda until no functions refer to it.
