<code class="function">glDeleteBuffers</code> deletes <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> buffer objects named by the elements of the array <em class="parameter"><code>buffers</code></em>.

After a buffer object is deleted, it has no contents,

and its name is free for reuse (for example by <a class="citerefentry" href="glGenBuffers"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glGenBuffers</span></span></a>).

If a buffer object that is currently bound is deleted, the binding reverts

to 0 (the absence of any buffer object, which reverts to client memory usage).

</p><p>

<code class="function">glDeleteBuffers</code> silently ignores 0's and names that do not correspond to

existing buffer objects.

</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>

<code class="function">glDeleteBuffers</code> is available only if the GL version is 1.5 or greater.

</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="errors"></a><h2>Errors</h2><p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_VALUE</code> is generated if <em class="parameter"><code>n</code></em> is negative.

</p><p>

<code class="constant">GL_INVALID_OPERATION</code> is generated if <code class="function">glDeleteBuffers</code> is executed

between the execution of <a class="citerefentry" href="glBegin"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBegin</span></span></a> and the corresponding

execution of <a class="citerefentry" href="glEnd"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnd</span></span></a>.
