# discardRecording(handler:)

Discards the current recording.

## Declaration

```swift
func discardRecording(handler: @escaping () -> Void)
```

## Parameters

- `handler`: A block that is called when the request is completed.

## Discussion

Discussion discardRecording(handler:) can only be called after the handler block in stopRecording(handler:) has been called. Use the handler block to do any required cleanup, including setting any RPPreviewScreenController references to nil.
