[](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/DiscoveringAndAnalysing/Bookmarks/remove-bookmark.htm)

#### The goal is to remove a bookmark that was created previously.

The handle of the app is 1.

1. Create the bookmark.

The client sends:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "CreateBookmark",
  "handle": 1,
  "params": [
    {
      "qInfo": {
        "qId": "BM01",
        "qType": "Bookmark"
      },
      "qBookmarkListDef": {
        "qType": "Bookmark"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

The engine returns:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "qReturn": {
      "qType": "GenericBookmark",
      "qHandle": 2
    },
    "qInfo": {
      "qId": "BM01",
      "qType": "Bookmark"
    }
  },
  "change": [
    1,
    2
  ]
}
```

The bookmark is created and the handle is 2.

2. Remove the bookmark.

The client sends:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "DestroyBookmark",
  "handle": 1,
  "params": [
    "BM01"
  ]
}
```

The engine returns:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "result": {
    "qSuccess": true
  },
  "close": [
    2
  ]
}
```

The bookmark is removed.
