# Bulk-delete chat sessions

`POST /api/v1/me/chats/bulk-delete`

Starts an asynchronous job that soft-deletes up to 100 chat rooms. The
Location resource is polled until `completed` or `failed`; a completed job
may contain individual failed results, including `not_found` for a malformed
target ID. If the job itself fails, the target it stopped on carries
`delete_failed` and every target behind it carries `not_attempted`, which
means it was left untouched and is safe to resubmit.
