glDeleteTextures 3G
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.

## Associated Gets
