# DeletePlaceIndex
<a name="API_DeletePlaceIndex"></a>

**Important**  
This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend you upgrade to the Places API V2 unless you require Grab data.  
 `DeletePlaceIndex` is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Places API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).
The Places API version 2 has a simplified interface that can be used without creating or managing place index resources.
If you are using an AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, note that the Places API version 2 is found under `geo-places` or `geo_places`, not under `location`.
Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Places API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.
Start your version 2 API journey with the Places V2 [API Reference](/location/latest/APIReference/API_Operations_Amazon_Location_Service_Places_V2.html) or the [Developer Guide](/location/latest/developerguide/places.html).

Deletes a place index resource from your AWS account.
