# Delete a note

`DELETE /api/v1/people/notes/{noteId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.recruitwithatlas.com`
- URL: `https://api.recruitwithatlas.com/api/v1/people/notes/{noteId}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/recruitwithatlas/apis/atlas-api/docs/api/v1/people/notes/:noteId/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Use this endpoint to delete a note from a person.

The note disappears from Atlas. It is kept as a tombstone: **List notes across the agency** returns it with `deletedAt` set when you pass `includeDeleted=true`, so a sync can pick up the deletion.

**Returns `404` when:**
- No note with this ID exists in your agency, or it has already been deleted.

## Path parameters

- `noteId` string, uuid, required: Note ID

## Response `200`

Note deleted

- object
  - `status` 'ok', required
  - `data` object, required
    - `id` string, uuid, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized - missing or invalid API key
- `404`: Note not found
- `422`: Validation error - the request failed schema validation (`errors.fieldErrors`) or a business rule (`errors.formErrors`)
- `429`: Too many requests - the caller has exceeded the per-agency rate limit for the tier this endpoint counts against (default per minute: 1200 read / 400 write / 60 upload). Inspect the `RateLimit-*` headers — returned on every response, not only on 429s — and back off until the window resets. See the "Rate limits" section of the introduction for details.
- `500`: Internal server error

## Changes

- **2026-10-16** `2c0c6a89d8e7`: 1 info
  - endpoint added
