## Delete a Single Layer User ID Override

**DELETE** `/console/v1/layers/{id}/overrides/userID/{userID}`

Full URL: `https://statsigapi.net/console/v1/layers/{id}/overrides/userID/{userID}`

Delete a Single Layer User ID Override

Removes a single user ID from the matching layer userID override bucket. Idempotent: returns 200 even when the user ID is not currently overridden. Only clears the bucket named by `experimentName`, `groupName`, `idType`, and `environment`; every other override bucket stays in place. The response body carries the full override set for the layer after the delete.
