Deletes an existing secret by ID.

The `deleteSecret()` function returns a Promise that resolves when a secret from the Secrets Manager is deleted.
You can retrieve the `id` parameter using the [`listSecretInfo()`](#listSecretInfo) function.
Note that the ID used here is the ID retrieved from [`listSecretInfo()`](#listSecretInfo), not the secret name used by [`getSecret()`](#getSecret).

> **Note:** Deleting a secret is irreversible and will break all code using the secret.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Delete an existing secret

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import wixSecretsBackend from 'wix-secrets-backend';

export const deleteMySecret = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => {
  const id = "b741766c-eead-46fe-8e7f-fd01ff3d6e21";

  return wixSecretsBackend.deleteSecret(id)
    .then(() => {
      console.log("Secret deleted");
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});
```

## Retrieve an ID and delete a secret

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import wixSecretsBackend from 'wix-secrets-backend';

export const deleteFirstSecret = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, () => {
  return wixSecretsBackend.listSecretInfo()
    .then((secrets) => {
      return wixSecretsBackend.deleteSecret(secrets[0].id);
    })
    .then(() => {
      console.log("Secret deleted");
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
});
```
