# Archive Prompt

`DELETE /prompts/{id}`

Archive a prompt you no longer need. Archived prompts are soft-deleted (we set an `archived_at` timestamp) so you can still access them for historical data.

**Safety First:**
- Can't archive a prompt that's currently active. You must activate a different version first.
- Historical data is preserved—old conversations continue to reference archived prompts so your message history stays intact.
- Archived prompts remain accessible for reporting and analysis.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required — The prompt ID to archive

## Response `200`

- DeletePromptResponse
  - `promptId` string, uuid, required — The archived prompt ID.
  - `externalPromptId` string — The external prompt ID.
