# Delete an agent session

`DELETE /agents/sessions/{session_id}`

Removes a managed agent session from the public API and returns a deletion confirmation. If backend execution has ended, deletion can cancel a still-open public turn and abandon unpublished outputs. Running execution must be cancelled first. Physical cleanup may continue asynchronously. See [managing sessions](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents-api/sessions/manage).
