For a source configured as a web services. I have created an Delete Account operation.

```auto
            {
                "httpMethodType": "DELETE",
                "pagingInitialOffset": 0,
                "sequenceNumberForEndpoint": "8",
                "uniqueNameForEndPoint": "Delete Account",
                "curlCommand": null,
                "rootPath": null,
                "body": {
                    "bodyFormData": null,
                    "jsonBody": null,
                    "bodyFormat": "raw"
                },
                "customAuthUrl": null,
                "paginationSteps": "$pageSize$ = 25\nTERMINATE_IF $RECORDS_COUNT$ < $pageSize$\n$offset$ = $offset$ + 1\n$endpoint.fullUrl$ = $application.baseUrl$ + \"/api/v2/users?pageSize=\" +$pageSize$ + \"&pageNumber=\" + $offset$ + \"&sortOrder=ASC&expand= station&state=any\"",
                "responseCode": null,
                "resMappingObj": null,
                "contextUrl": "/api/v2/users/$getObject.nativeIdentity$",
                "pagingSize": 25,
                "curlEnabled": false,
                "header": null,
                "operationType": "Delete Account",
                "xpathNamespaces": null,
                "parentEndpointName": null
            },

```

But when I check the accounts on a identity the option Delete Account will not pop-up. For like Active Directory it’s there, but I can’t make it work for my webservices.

What I found out in the API:

```auto
    "features": [
        "UNLOCK",
        "PASSWORD",
        "AUTHENTICATE",
        "PROVISIONING",
        "ENABLE"
    ],

```

This is an older source that have been created. Should I manually add the delete feature for this webservice ?

Hmm interesting, it should be there by default. Just add through VSCode: **DELETE** and see if it is reflecting.

You can start using VSCode Extenstion for SailPoint ISC and edit files directly without making any API calls, it is quick and easy to use.
