# Delete question templates

`DELETE /api/admin/questionnaires/question-templates/`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.retraced.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.retraced.com/api/admin/questionnaires/question-templates/`
- Auth: none declared

Permanently deletes the given question templates together with their answer options. Ids that match nothing are ignored, so the call is idempotent. Questionnaires built from a template keep their own copy of its questions and are not affected. Answers 204 with no body (legacy: 200, and the ids were sent as a bare array).

## Request body
