Deletes a named space. Always performs a cascading delete, which means that the space's child resources—like messages posted in the space and memberships in the space—are also deleted. For an example, see [Delete a space](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/delete-spaces). Supports the following types of [authentication](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/authenticate-authorize): - [App authentication](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/authenticate-authorize-chat-app) with [administrator approval](https://support.google.com/a?p=chat-app-auth) and the authorization scope: - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.app.delete` (only in spaces the app created) - [User authentication](https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/authenticate-authorize-chat-user) with one of the following authorization scopes: - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.delete` - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.import` (import mode spaces only) - User authentication grants administrator privileges when an administrator account authenticates, `use_admin_access` is `true`, and the following authorization scope is used: - `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.admin.delete`

## Path parameters

- `spacesId` string, required

## Query parameters

- `useAdminAccess` boolean

## Response `200`

Successful response

- Empty: A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated empty messages in your APIs. A typical example is to use it as the request or the response type of an API method. For instance: service Foo { rpc Bar(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); }
