# Delete a practitioner

`DELETE /shop/practitioners/{practitionerId}`

Soft-deletes a `Practitioner`. Existing past appointments and
sessions are unaffected; the practitioner is removed from new
booking flows.

**422 Unprocessable Entity** if the practitioner has future
appointments or sessions still on the books — reassign or cancel
those bookings first. The response lists `appointments` and/or
`sessions` validation errors so callers know what to clear up.

Requires the `SETTINGS_MANAGE` permission on the practitioner's
first site.

## Response `204`

Practitioner deleted successfully.

## Other responses

- `401` — The user is unauthenticated
- `403` — The authenticated user does not have permission.
- `404` — The resource couldn't be found
