# Remove one stack variable

> Removes one stack variable. Removing a variable the stack does not hold answers 200 with changed false. The edit is merged into the deployed variables under the cluster lock, so keys it does not name are never overwritten, including a key the application image-tag lane moved a moment earlier. It is a live write: a pending draft of the stack is neither read nor published, and the stack's description, deploy wave and members are kept. A pending draft of the stack picks this write up when it is next reconciled against the deployed stack, and publishing the draft merges its variables with the live stack key by key: only a variable the draft itself changed keeps the draft's value. A variable added live after the draft last reconciled is one the draft never saw, so it is kept: publishing the draft cannot remove it. Requires `stacks.write` on the cluster.
