# Delete a backup provider

`DELETE /backup-providers/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cloudpepper.io`
- URL: `https://api.cloudpepper.io/backup-providers/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Permanently removes a backup provider from your account. If the provider is currently set as the default, the default provider setting will be cleared. Any existing backups created with this provider will remain accessible until they are explicitly deleted.

**Key Parameters:**
- `id`: The unique identifier of the backup provider to delete

**NOTE:** This only removes the provider configuration from your account. It does not delete any backup data stored with the provider. If you need to delete the actual backup data, you must manage that separately through the respective provider's interface.

## Response `200`

Backup provider successfully deleted

- string

## Other responses

- `403`: Insufficient permissions
- `404`: Backup provider not found
