# Remove a physical eSIM (owner-facing, both sources)

`DELETE /numbers/esims/{id}`

Removes a physical eSIM. Idempotent — returns 204 for a fresh removal or a replay of an already-removed eSIM. An eSIM currently installed on a device is uninstalled first, then removed. An eSIM in an intermediate install state returns 409 `operator_resolution_required` and requires manual resolution. Returns 404 if the eSIM doesn't exist or isn't owned by the caller.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `204`

eSIM retired (fresh retire, or an idempotent replay of an already-retired row)

## Other responses

- `401` — Unauthorized
- `404` — Not Found
- `409` — Conflict — see `reason` for the stable, machine-readable cause
- `500` — Internal Server Error
- `503` — Service Unavailable — esims are disabled for this deployment (see `reason`)
