# Clear Face

> Remove a face exclusion for a session

```
DELETE /v1/igaming/self-exclusion/face/{session_id}
```

Removes a face exclusion previously set via [Exclude Face](/api-reference/igaming/exclude-face) or [Exclude Applicant](/api-reference/igaming/exclude-applicant). This call is idempotent — clearing a face that isn't excluded returns a normal `200` with `unexcluded: false`, not an error.
