## Remarks

<Note>This function isn't safe to call on a time-sensitive thread. For more information, see [Time-sensitive threads](https://learn.microsoft.com/gaming/gdk/docs/gdk-dev/console-dev/overviews/threads/time-sensitive-threads).</Note>

This operation may sometimes run slow, it is somewhat dependent on the size of the data being deleted. This operation is serialized to ensure we always have a consistent representation of the data. This method has an asynchronous version, [XGameSaveDeleteContainerAsync](/reference/system/xgamesave/functions/xgamesavedeletecontainerasync).

```cpp theme={null}
void Sample::_DeleteContainer(const char* name) 
{ 
    HRESULT hr = XGameSaveDeleteContainer(_provider, name); 
    if (FAILED(hr)) 
    { 
        _HandleContainerErrors(name, hr); 
    } 
} 
```

## Requirements
