# Delete Conversation Endpoint

`DELETE /v1/conversations/{conversation_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.pharia.example.com`
- URL: `https://api.pharia.example.com/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/aleph-alpha/apis/stateful-responses/docs/v1/conversations/:conversation_id/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Delete a conversation and all its history entries.

Soft-delete by default. When ``hard_delete=True`` and the caller is an
admin, the conversation and all associated history entries are permanently
removed from the database.

Admin access: when the caller is an admin, ownership checks are bypassed,
allowing cross-user deletion.
