The built-in function <code>delete</code> removes the element with key
<code>k</code> from a <a href="#Map_types">map</a> <code>m</code>. The
value <code>k</code> must be <a href="#Assignability">assignable</a>
to the key type of <code>m</code>.
</p>

<pre class="grammar">
delete(m, k)  // remove element m[k] from map m
</pre>

@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(*, user: User = Depends(get_current_user), item_id: int):
    ...


@app.delete("/items/{item_id}")
def delete_item(*, user: User = Depends(get_current_user), item_id: int):
    ...
```

There's a bit of code duplication for the dependency:

```Python
user: User = Depends(get_current_user)
