 ## Permanent workspace delete
 The soft-delete method may not fit in some scenarios such as development and testing, where you need to repeat a deployment with the same settings and workspace name. In such cases you can permanently delete your workspace and "override" the soft-delete period. The permanent workspace delete operation releases the workspace name and you can create a new workspace using the same name.
 
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > Use permanent workspace delete operation with caution since its irreversible and you won't be able to recover your workspace and its data.
 
-The permanent workspace delete can currently be performed via REST API.
+To permanently delete your workspace, use the [Workspaces – Delete](https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/loganalytics/workspaces/delete) REST request with a force tag:
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> Any API request must include a Bearer authorization token in the request header.
->
-> You can acquire the token using:
-> - [App registrations](https://docs.microsoft.com/graph/auth/auth-concepts#access-tokens)
-> - Navigate to Azure portal using the developer's console (F12) in the browser. Look in one of the **batch?** instances for the authentication string under **Request Headers**. This will be in the pattern *authorization: Bearer <token>*. Copy and add this to your API call as shown in the examples.
-> - Navigate to the Azure REST documentation site. press **Try it** on any API, copy the Bearer token, and add it to your API call.
-To permanently delete your workspace, use the [Workspaces - Delete REST]( https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/loganalytics/workspaces/delete) API call with a force tag:
->
-> ```rst
-> DELETE https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourcegroups/<resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/<workspace-name>?api-version=2015-11-01-preview&force=true
-> Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Qi….
-> ```
-Where 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Qi…' represents the full authorization token.
+```rst
+DELETE https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourcegroups/<resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/<workspace-name>?api-version=2015-11-01-preview&force=true
+Authorization: Bearer <token>
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can execute the operation from Azure REST documentation site:
+1.	Navigate to [Workspaces – Delete](https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/loganalytics/workspaces/delete) REST API and click **Try it**. 
+2.	Enter details of the workspace you want to permanently delete
+3.	Ender a new parameter *force* with value *true*
+4.	Click the ‘+’ icon on the right to the value. This will add *force=true* to the URI in the request
+5.	Click the *Run* button
+
+The response should be 200 OK
 
 ## Recover workspace
 When you delete a Log Analytics workspace accidentally or intentionally, the service places the workspace in a soft-delete state making it inaccessible to any operation. The name of the deleted workspace is preserved during the soft-delete period and can't be used for creating a new workspace. After the soft-delete period, the workspace is non-recoverable, it is scheduled for permanent deletion and its name it released and can be used for creating a new workspace.
