# Delete one memory — or every memory in the store

`POST /api/v1/memory/forget`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.wontopos.com`
- URL: `https://api.wontopos.com/api/v1/memory/forget`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`

With memory_id: delete that memory. WITHOUT memory_id: delete EVERY memory in the store (GDPR erase). Omitting the id is destructive by design — send it explicitly for single deletes.

## Headers

- `X-WOS-Model` string

## Request body

- object
  - `user_id` string, required: The store to operate on. Stores are explicit: create one first or use the built-in "default". Use the id the store was created with: 1-64 ASCII letters, digits, ., _ or -, starting with a letter or digit. Ids that differ only by case name one store.
  - `memory_id` string, uuid: Omit to erase the whole store.

## Response `200`

Success.

- object
  - `status` string

## Other responses

- `400`: memory_id present but not a valid id.
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `404`: Store (user_id) does not exist. Create it first: POST /api/v1/memory/collection.
- `429`: Rate limited (per-account, per-tier RPM). Retry after the indicated delay.
