# Delete meeting session recording media

`DELETE /meeting_sessions/{id}/recording_media`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.telnyx.com/v2`
- URL: `https://api.telnyx.com/v2/meeting_sessions/{id}/recording_media`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Irreversibly requests deletion of the aggregate recording media for the session. The operation retains the Telnyx-local Meeting session, transcript segments, events, artifacts, and usage records. It is separate from `DELETE /meeting_sessions/{id}`, which stops or cancels participation without deleting the persisted session. A missing/foreign session returns 404; a deletion request whose outcome is unknown returns 502.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `202`

The irreversible recording-media deletion request was accepted, or a deletion is already in progress.

- MeetingSessionRecordingMediaDeletionResponse
  - `data` object, required
    - `meeting_session_id` string, required: The account-scoped Meeting Session identifier.
    - `provider` 'telnyx', required
    - `scope` 'provider_recording_media', required
    - `deletion_status` 'requested' | 'already_in_progress', required

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized. On api.telnyx.com, authentication is enforced by the API gateway before the request reaches the Meeting service, so a missing or invalid API key returns the standard Telnyx error envelope (`{"errors": [{"code": "10009", ...}]}`) rather than the single-`error` shape below.
- `403`: The authenticated credential is not permitted to perform this operation.
- `404`: The meeting session does not exist or belongs to another account.
- `409`: Recording media cannot be deleted while the meeting is in progress.
- `422`: Recording-media deletion is not supported for this session.
- `429`: Authentication is temporarily overloaded. Retry after the number of seconds in `Retry-After`.
- `500`: Internal Server Error
- `502`: The deletion request failed and the recording-media deletion outcome is unknown.
- `503`: The authentication service is unavailable.
