### Procedural

Prerequisites:  
- Have your authentication credentials ready: auth-userid and api-key.  
- Know the Order ID of the Dedicated Server Linux order you want to delete.

Steps:  
1) Prepare a POST API request to the following endpoint:  
   `https://test.httpapi.com/api/dedicatedserver/linux/us/delete.json`  
2) Include the parameters in the query string or POST body:  
   - `auth-userid` (Integer, Required): Your authentication user ID.  
   - `api-key` (String, Required): Your API key.  
   - `order-id` (Integer, Required): The ID of the Dedicated Server Linux order to delete.  
3) Send the POST request to the API.  
4) Receive a response containing a hash map with details including:  
   - Domain Name (`description`)  
   - Order ID (`entityid`)  
   - Action Type (`actiontype`)  
   - Description of the Delete Action (`actiontypedesc`)  
   - Action ID of the Delete Action (`eaqid`)  
   - Delete Action Status (`actionstatus`)  
   - Description of the Delete Action Status (`actionstatusdesc`)  
5) If there is an error, the response will contain a `status` key with the value `ERROR` and an error message.

Warnings:  
- Ensure all required parameters are included; missing parameters will cause the API call to fail.  
- Only use this API endpoint to delete Dedicated Server Linux orders.  
- Use caution when deleting orders as this operation is irreversible.

Summary:  
To delete a Dedicated Server Linux order using the API, send a POST request with your authentication credentials and the order ID to the dedicated API endpoint. The response provides the status and details of the deletion action.
