# Delete backlog positions

`DELETE https://api.cryptohopper.com/v1/hopper/{id}/marketmaker/backlog`

Part of [Market maker](https://www.cryptohopper.com/api-documentation/api-reference/market-maker.md) in the Cryptohopper API reference.

Deletes the backlog positions listed in backlog_ids from a market maker bot.

OAuth scope: `read`, `manage`

backlog_ids is required; this endpoint does not delete the whole backlog. Returns an error when only some or none of the positions could be deleted.

## Path parameters
