# Delete a credential template

`DELETE /v1/groups/{id}`

Permanently deletes a credential template (group). This cannot be undone.

<Callout title="Naming update" type="warn">
Groups are being renamed to Credential Templates to better reflect their purpose. This is a **naming update only** — all functionality remains the same.

During the transition, you may still see both terms used interchangeably across the API, app, and existing integrations.
