Can we delete a record using external Id

I want to delete a record using its external id.

example :

Opportunity opt = new Opportunity();
opt.External_Id__c = ''external id of record'';
delete opt;

is it possible ?

When I do like this getting "System.ListException: Missing id at index: 0" exception.

Thanks in Advance,
Murthy VVR
