# ARDELRANGE

> Delete occupied slots in one or more inclusive ranges.

Deleting values leaves holes and does not shift later values.

## Arguments

<ParamField body="key" type="str" required>
  The array key.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="ranges" type="*ranges: Tuple[int, int]" required>
  One or more inclusive start-end pairs, passed as separate arguments.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField type="int" required>
  The number of values removed across the ranges. Overlapping ranges do not count a value twice.
</ResponseField>

<RequestExample>
  ```py Example theme={"system"}
  redis.arset("readings", 0, "a", "b", "c", "d", "e")
  print(redis.ardelrange("readings", (0, 1), (4, 4)))  # 3
  print(redis.arcount("readings"))  # 2
  ```
</RequestExample>
