# Delete a Global Suppression

## API overview

A global suppression includes the email addresses of recipients who unsubscribed from all emails that you send them.

To unsubscribe from all emails, a recipient clicks the [Unsubscribe From All Emails link](/docs/sendgrid/ui/sending-email/global-unsubscribes#global-unsubscribe-substitution-tag) within your emails. Once a recipient adds their email address to the global suppressions list, they don't receive any emails from you.

This endpoint removes a specific email address from your global suppression list so you can send emails to it.

## Operation overview

```json
{"path":"https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/asm/suppressions/global/{email}","method":"delete","servers":[{"url":"https://api.sendgrid.com","description":"for global users and subusers"},{"url":"https://api.eu.sendgrid.com","description":"for EU regional subusers"}]}
```

**This endpoint allows you to remove an email address from the global suppressions group.**

Deleting a suppression group will remove the suppression, meaning email will once again be sent to the previously suppressed addresses. This should be avoided unless a recipient indicates they wish to receive email from you again. You can use our [bypass filters](/docs/sendgrid/ui/sending-email/index-suppressions/#bypass-suppressions) to deliver messages to otherwise suppressed addresses when exceptions are required.

[{"in":"header","name":"Authorization","required":true,"default":"Bearer <<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>>","schema":{"type":"string"}},{"name":"on-behalf-of","in":"header","description":"The `on-behalf-of` header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be \"account-id\" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., `on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>`). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., `on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>`). It is important to use the Base URL that corresponds to the region of the account or Subuser you specify in the `on-behalf-of` header. See [**On Behalf Of**](/docs/sendgrid/api-reference/how-to-use-the-sendgrid-v3-api/on-behalf-of) for more information.","required":false,"schema":{"type":"string"},"refName":"#/components/parameters/OnBehalfOf","modelName":"__components_parameters_OnBehalfOf"}]
