## Name

glDeleteTextures — delete named textures

## C Specification

`void glDeleteTextures(` | GLsizei n,
| const GLuint * textures`)`;

## Parameters

`n`

  Specifies the number of textures to be deleted.

`textures`

  Specifies an array of textures to be deleted.

## Description

`glDeleteTextures` deletes `n` textures named by the elements of the array `textures`. After a texture is deleted, it has no contents or dimensionality, and its name is free for reuse (for example by glGenTextures). If a texture that is currently bound is deleted, the binding reverts to 0 (the default texture).

`glDeleteTextures` silently ignores 0's and names that do not correspond to existing textures.

## Errors

`GL_INVALID_VALUE` is generated if `n` is negative.
