# Delete Collection

`DELETE /library/{libraryId}/collections/{collectionId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://video.bunnycdn.com`
- URL: `https://video.bunnycdn.com/library/{libraryId}/collections/{collectionId}`
- Auth: API key in header `AccessKey`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/bunny/apis/stream-api/docs/library/:libraryId/collections/:collectionId/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Permanently deletes the collection together with every video and live stream it contains — nothing is moved out of the collection first, it is deleted along with it. Fails with 400 if the collection contains a currently running live stream; stop it before deleting the collection. This cannot be undone.

## Path parameters

- `libraryId` integer, required
- `collectionId` string, required

## Response `200`

The collection was successfully deleted
