`DELETE /v1/lists/{id}`

## Request

- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Requires `lists:d`.

## Path parameters

## Response `204`

Deleted. A key it was assigned to loses that restriction.

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, invalid, revoked or expired API key.
- `402`: The account has no balance, or a LIVE key was used before the first top-up.
- `403`: LIVE_KEY_REQUIRED when a test key tries to change something a live key's allow/deny list references; KEY_FENCED when the change would loosen the calling key's own allow/deny fence. Also FORBIDDEN when the key lacks the permission.
- `404`: CONTACT_LIST_NOT_FOUND.
- `429`: Rate limit reached: 100 requests per second per account, or a route-specific limit (Retry-After set where one applies).
- `500`: Unexpected server error.
