# Delete call

> DELETE /v1/calls/:callId

Permanently erases a single call: the call record, its transcript and analysis, and the recording file itself. Use this to satisfy an individual erasure request ("delete my data") without waiting for the 90-day retention window.

## Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X DELETE https://api.nixflex.com/v1/calls/CA1b5c0bfad4b56635b773938f16db2db7 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer KEY_ID:KEY_SECRET"
```

Or with the [SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nixflex):

```javascript theme={null}
await client.calls.delete('CA1b5c0bfad4b56635b773938f16db2db7');
```

## Response

`200 OK`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "call_id": "CA1b5c0bfad4b56635b773938f16db2db7",
  "deleted": true,
  "recording_deleted": true
}
```

`recording_deleted` is `false` when the call had no recording (recording disabled, or the call ended before audio was saved) - the call record is still deleted.

## Errors

| Status | Code        | Meaning                                                                                  |
| ------ | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 404    | `not_found` | No call with that ID on your account. Also returned for a call you have already deleted. |

Only calls made with your own API key can be deleted; another account's call ID returns the same `404`.

## Not reversible

<Warning>
  There is no undo and no recovery window. The transcript and the recording are removed immediately - if you need a copy, fetch it with [Get call](/api-reference/calls/get) before deleting. Database backups do not restore deleted recordings.
</Warning>

## What this does NOT do

* Billing is unaffected. The call's usage remains on your invoice - a delivered call is still a billed call, and billing records are retained for tax purposes.
* Webhook delivery logs for the call are not removed.
