### Prerequisites:
- Have your API authentication credentials: `auth-userid` (Integer) and `api-key` (String).
- Know the `order-id` (Integer) of the Managed Server Linux order you wish to delete.

### Steps:
1) Prepare a POST request to the API endpoint:
   ```
   https://test.httpapi.com/api/managedserver/linux/us/delete.json
   ```
2) Include the following parameters in the request URL query string:
   - `auth-userid`: Your authentication user ID (Integer).
   - `api-key`: Your API key (String).
   - `order-id`: The Order ID of the Managed Server Linux order to delete (Integer).

3) Send the POST request to delete the Managed Server Linux order.

4) Review the response for confirmation details including:
   - Domain name (`description`)
   - Order ID (`entityid`)
   - Action type (`actiontype`)
   - Description of the delete action (`actiontypedesc`)
   - Action ID (`eaqid`)
   - Action status (`actionstatus`)
   - Description of the action status (`actionstatusdesc`)

5) If an error occurs, the response will include a `status` key with value `ERROR` and an accompanying error message.

### HTTP Method
- POST

### Example Test URL Request
```
https://test.httpapi.com/api/managedserver/linux/us/delete.json?auth-userid=0&amp;api-key=keyℴ-id=0
```

### Warnings:
- Ensure all required parameters (`auth-userid`, `api-key`, and `order-id`) are included; otherwise, the delete action will fail.
- Be certain you want to delete the order, as this operation is irreversible.
