# Delete people in batch

`POST /v1/people/batch/delete`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.folk.app`
- URL: `https://api.folk.app/v1/people/batch/delete`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Delete up to 100 existing people in the workspace. Each record is deleted on its own: one that fails does not prevent the others from being deleted.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string: A unique key, such as a UUID, that makes retrying this request safe: a retry with the same key and body returns the original response without running the operation again. Keys are kept for 24 hours after the request completes.

## Request body

- object
  - `records` object[], required
    - `id` string, required: The ID of the person to delete.

## Response `200`

The outcome of each record, with the ID of each deleted person.

  - `data` object, required
