# Delete a micro-challenge template

`DELETE /campaigns/{campaign_id}/micro-challenges/{template_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.reacherapp.com/public/v1`
- URL: `https://api.reacherapp.com/public/v1/campaigns/{campaign_id}/micro-challenges/{template_id}`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key` and API key in header `x-shop-id`

Soft-deletes a recurring template so it stops materializing new windows. Instances it ALREADY produced are untouched — their standings and payouts stand. Ownership is enforced on the full (template, campaign, shop) triple.

Requires `read_write` scope and an `Idempotency-Key`; `X-Dry-Run: true` reports what would be deleted without deleting it.

## Path parameters

- `campaign_id` integer, required
- `template_id` integer, required

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, nullable
- `X-Dry-Run` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

- `400`: Validation error, multi-shop key, or missing `Idempotency-Key`.
- `403`: API key lacks `read_write` scope (`WRITE_NOT_PERMITTED`).
- `404`: Campaign / template / job not in this shop.
- `409`: Campaign results are final, campaign is LIVE-scored, template cap reached, or `Idempotency-Key` conflict.
- `422`: Validation Error
- `429`: Write-tier rate limit (10/min, 50/hr, 100/day) exceeded.
