# Delete Prompt — DELETE /api/v1/prompts/{promptId}

> Permanently delete a prompt by ID. Removes it from all vaults it belongs to. Deletion is irreversible — there is no way to recover a deleted prompt.

Permanently delete a prompt from your account by its numeric ID. When a prompt is deleted it is also removed from every vault it currently belongs to — there is no way to recover it after deletion.

<Warning>
  Deletion is **irreversible**. The prompt, its text, and all associated metadata are permanently removed. Any generated images linked to the prompt will also be unlinked. If you only want to remove a prompt from a specific vault while keeping the prompt itself, use the vault membership endpoint instead.
</Warning>

<Note>
  **DELETE** `https://www.promptbank.club/api/v1/prompts/{promptId}`
</Note>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="promptId" type="integer" required>
  The unique numeric ID of the prompt you want to delete.
</ParamField>

## Example Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X DELETE https://www.promptbank.club/api/v1/prompts/42 \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer pb_live_...'
```

## Example Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "id": 42,
    "deleted": true
  },
  "error": null
}
```

A successful deletion returns HTTP **200 OK**. Subsequent requests to `GET /api/v1/prompts/42` will return **404 Not Found**.
