| `Destination` | String - [Address][] | Account | The address of an account to receive any leftover XRP after deleting the sending account. Must be a funded account in the ledger, and must not be the sending account. |
| `DestinationTag` | Number | UInt32 | _(Optional)_ Arbitrary [destination tag](source-and-destination-tags.html) that identifies a hosted recipient or other information for the recipient of the deleted account's leftover XRP. |
## Special Transaction Cost
As an additional deterrent against ledger spam, the AccountDelete transaction requires a much higher than usual [transaction cost](transaction-cost.html): instead of the standard minimum of 0.00001 XRP, AccountDelete must destroy at least the owner reserve amount, currently 5 XRP. This discourages excessive creation of new accounts because the [reserve requirement](reserves.html) cannot be fully recouped by deleting the account.
The transaction cost always applies when a transaction is included in a validated ledger, even if the transaction fails to delete the account. (See [Error Cases](#error-cases).) To greatly reduce the chances of paying the high transaction cost if the account cannot be deleted, [submit the transaction](submit.html) with `fail_hard` enabled.
