# Delete Verification

`DELETE /api/v1/verifications/{verification_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://lenz.io`
- URL: `https://lenz.io/api/v1/verifications/{verification_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Delete an owned verification.

Removes the verification, its analysis, evidence and follow-up chat, and
the text of each request that submitted it from your credit history and
from our API-call log (on a batch, that item only). Not reached by a
deletion: copies in our caches, which expire within 24 hours, and our
backups, which age out within 60 days.

Deleting a warranted verification keeps its certificate and warranty; the
certificate stays at its `certificate_url`.

**Versions.** default: `2026-10-11` receives `ErrorOut`, `2026-05-13` receives `ErrorOutLegacy`.

## Path parameters

- `verification_id` string, required

## Headers

- `X-Lenz-API-Version` string

## Response `200`

OK

- OkOut: The deletion or reset was done.
  - `ok` true, required

## Other responses

- `default`: An error
