3## Available APIs

5You can use [OH_Asset_Remove](../../reference/apis-asset-store-kit/_asset_api.md#oh_asset_remove) to remove assets. If the asset alias is specified, the specified asset will be removed. If no asset alias is specified, all assets will be removed.

7The following table describes the asset attributes.

11>In the following table, the attributes starting with **ASSET_TAG_DATA_LABEL** are custom asset attributes reserved. These attributes are not encrypted. Therefore, do not put personal data in these attributes.

35## Example
36
37Remove asset **demo_alias**.
38
391. Add the dynamic library in the CMake script.
40   ```txt
41   target_link_libraries(entry PUBLIC libasset_ndk.z.so)
42   ```
43
442. Add an asset.
45   ```c
46   #include <string.h>
47
48   #include "asset/asset_api.h"
49
50   void RemoveAsset() {
51      static const char *ALIAS = "demo_alias";
52      Asset_Blob alias = { (uint32_t)(strlen(ALIAS)), (uint8_t *)ALIAS };
53
54      Asset_Attr attr[] = {
55         { .tag = ASSET_TAG_ALIAS, .value.blob = alias }, // Specify the asset alias to remove a single asset. To remove all assets, leave the alias unspecified.
56      };
57
58      int32_t ret = OH_Asset_Remove(attr, sizeof(attr) / sizeof(attr[0]));
59      if (ret == ASSET_SUCCESS) {
60         // Asset removed successfully.
61      } else {
62         // Failed to remove Asset.
63      }
64   }
65   ```
