*/

const elevatedDeleteSubmission = auth.elevate(submissions.deleteSubmission);

export async function myDeleteSubmissionFunction(submissionId) {

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { submissions } from '@wix/forms';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { submissions },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function deleteSubmission(submissionId,options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.submissions.deleteSubmission(submissionId,options);
};
```
