# Delete an own DRAFT; a released entry is never deleted

`DELETE /v1/entries/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.sixminute.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.sixminute.ai/v1/entries/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Only the entry's author may delete it, and only while it is a draft: a released entry belongs to the firm and is a 409 (D-56), and so is a draft whose release is with the practice system at that moment, or for which the practice system holds or may hold a line from a release that did not finish (409 on `connector.pending`: releasing the entry settles it). An entry this caller does not own, or cannot see, is a 404 whether or not it exists. Idempotent: a draft this caller already deleted answers 204 again, so a request retried after a lost answer is not an error. From the delete the entry is in no read: not the list, not `GET /v1/entries/{id}`, not its day, and PATCH, release, split and merge answer 404 for it. The delete writes the row only: the intervals under it stay, and a new entry over the same time shows them again (D-216). A device that posts the deleted id again, or a new id whose block lies wholly inside the deleted one, is answered `unchanged` and nothing is written.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `204`

The draft is deleted, now or by an earlier request of the same author.

## Other responses

- `401`: No bearer token, or one that does not verify or has expired.
- `403`: The token verified but may not do this: no organisation, not provisioned, wrong role, or a device problem.
- `404`: No such row for this tenant.
- `409`: The id or the email already belongs to something else.
