**Description**  
After performing the [upload vb](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/uploadvbuser) POST request, an id is returned. This id can be used to perform a DELETE request to [delete the same vb](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/deluservb) from the account that it was uploaded to. Is there a way of accessing this id without saving the id from the initial POST request? Or even a way to ‘delete all’ in order to avoid a situation in which these ids are lost and the 10 upload limit is reached. In this case no more POST requests can be performed as even deleting the uploaded vb locally by the user does not remove the id from the backend for some reason.

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
OAuth

Hey @yonatan,

Thanks for reaching out about this, and great question. At this time, there’s not an endpoint to retrieve Virtual Backgrounds (or their IDs) via API, but this is a great suggestion and I can certainly appreciate the use case.

While you’ll need to save the ID from the API response for now, I’d also encourage you to submit a feature request for this here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Will
