# DELETE /projects/{projectId}

`DELETE /projects/{projectId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1/projects/{projectId}`

    - Token URL: `/api/v1/oauth/token` scopes: `org:update`

DELETE /api/v1/projects/{projectId} on the Caveman Cloud control plane. Requires the org:update scope. Not exposed to autonomous agents: Deleting a project is irreversible and cascades keys, policies, and telemetry. It stays a human owner's decision, like every other destructive lifecycle action.
