# Delete Comment

`DELETE /api/v1/comments/{comment_id}`

Delete a comment. Author or tenant admin.

Soft: the row stays as a tombstone so a deleted root keeps the replies
under it, and the response is that tombstone rather than a bare 204, so
the feed can update in place.

## Path parameters

- `comment_id` integer, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string, nullable
- `X-API-Key` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- CommentResponse — One comment or reply. A soft-deleted comment comes back with ``is_deleted`` true and its body and attachments empty — the row stays so the thread keeps its shape, but a tombstone is not a way to read deleted text.
