# List, retrieve, then delete a funding instruction.

List, retrieve, then delete a funding instruction.

1. OPTIONAL — list funding instructions sent within the required `dateFrom`/`dateTo` window, optionally paginated with `before`/`after`/`limit`. The response is paginated - instructions are in the `data` array. This step extracts the first instruction's integer `instructionId` for the follow-on steps.

2. OPTIONAL — retrieve the full detail of the first funding instruction from the list. Inspect `status` (`accepted`, `pending`, or `completed`) to confirm the instruction can still be deleted - only an `accepted` instruction may be modified. `instructionId` is top-level here.
 [getInstruction](/api/get-instruction)
3. Delete the funding instruction retrieved above, using its integer `instructionId`. Only works while `status` is `accepted`; otherwise the gateway returns 409 (cannot be modified). This is a DELETE that returns 204 No Content - there is no response body to capture.
