# DELETE /api/v1/vaults/{vaultId} — Delete Your Vault

> DELETE /api/v1/vaults/{vaultId} — permanently delete a vault by ID. Prompts inside the vault are not deleted, only removed from the vault.

Permanently delete a vault you own by its numeric ID. Deleting a vault removes the vault and all of its organizational structure, but it does not delete the prompt records themselves — they remain in your account and can be added to other vaults at any time.

<Warning>
  Vault deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Once a vault is deleted, its name, description, slug, and membership list are gone forever. Make sure you intend to remove the vault before calling this endpoint.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Prompts that were inside the deleted vault are **not** removed from your account. They continue to exist and can be added to a different vault, or accessed directly via the Prompts API.
</Note>
