+### Delete anchor without locating
+If you are unable to locate an anchor but would still like to delete it you can use the ``GetAnchorPropertiesAsync`` API which takes an anchorId as input to get the ``CloudSpatialAnchor`` object. You can then pass this object into ``DeleteAnchorAsync`` to delete it. 
+```csharp
+var anchor = await cloudSession.GetAnchorPropertiesAsync(@"anchorId");
+await this.cloudSession.DeleteAnchorAsync(anchor);
