# Delete a task that has not started, or one that is paused, completed or needs attention

`DELETE /v1/tasks/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://volai.cz`
- URL: `https://volai.cz/v1/tasks/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Deletes the task and all of its items - only in `draft`/`ready`/`paused`/`completed`/`needs_attention` status, WITHOUT an `in_progress` item. `revision` is read from `?revision=` OR a JSON body `{"revision": ...}` (the query parameter wins).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `revision` integer

## Request body

- object
  - `revision` integer, required: Current task revision from GET /v1/tasks/{id}. On revision_conflict reload and review the new state before retrying. Reconciliation accepts omission; other task changes require the current revision.

## Response `200`

Deleted

- object
  - `deleted` true, required
