- **Source:** https://github.com/libtmux/libtmux-perl/blob/352715a4fa66a96eed7763b90daaa536aa2f121d/packages/core/lib/LibTmux/Server.pm#L1120

```
sub delete_buffer($self, %args)
```

`delete_buffer(name => string)`.

Delete the named daemon buffer loaded through [`"set_buffer"`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-server-set_buffer/). Other daemon buffers remain untouched; later [`"show_buffer"`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-server-show_buffer/) calls report absence as a command failure.

Returns `undef` after command acceptance. Performs I/O; failures propagate through [`LibTmux::X`](/en/perl/latest/reference/libtmux-x/). Captured objects are not modified.


```perl
    $server->delete_buffer(name => 'application');
```
