# Delete a service account

`DELETE /orgs/{orgName}/service-accounts/{serviceAccountName}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.signadot.com/api/v2`
- URL: `https://api.signadot.com/api/v2/orgs/{orgName}/service-accounts/{serviceAccountName}`

Hard-delete a service account. Refused with 409 if it still holds API keys (remove them first, so they aren't orphaned). Devboxes and other rows bound to this principal are left for an admin to clean up.

## Path parameters

- `serviceAccountName` string, required

## Response `200`

OK

## Other responses

- `404`: Not Found
- `409`: Conflict
