# Delete artifact

`DELETE /groups/{groupId}/artifacts/{artifactId}`

## Request

- The document declares no server URL.
- Auth: none declared

Deletes an artifact completely, resulting in all versions of the artifact also being
deleted.  This may fail for one of the following reasons:

* No artifact with the `artifactId` exists (HTTP error `404`)
* A server error occurred (HTTP error `500`)

## Response `204`

Returned when the artifact was successfully deleted.

## Other responses

- `401`: Common response for all operations that can return a `401` error indicating authentication is required.
- `403`: Common response for all operations that can return a `403` error indicating the user is authenticated but not authorized.
- `404`: Common response for all operations that can return a `404` error.
- `500`: Common response for all operations that can fail with an unexpected server error.
