# Delete a negative keyword list

`DELETE /v1/ads/accounts/negative-keyword-lists/{listId}`

Removes the Google shared negative keyword list. Detach it from all campaigns first; an in-use list is rejected. Only NEGATIVE_KEYWORDS shared sets are supported.

## Path parameters

- `listId` string, required — Google shared set id.

## Query parameters

- `accountId` string, required — Zernio SocialAccount id.
- `adAccountId` string — Platform ad account ID (Google customer ID, digits only). Required when the connection has multiple customers.
- `customerId` string — Alias of adAccountId, kept for existing callers
- `platform` 'facebook' | 'instagram' | 'tiktok' | 'linkedin' | 'pinterest' | 'google' | 'twitter' | 'openai' — Optional courtesy field. The resolved account or campaign determines support; other platforms return 501.

## Response `200`

Successful response.

- object
  - `removed` boolean
  - `customerId` string — Resolved Google Ads customer id.

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — Ads access and permission to the selected account are required.
- `404` — The account or requested resource was not found or is not accessible. An account ID may have been disconnected and removed. Read GET /v1/accounts for current account IDs.
- `409` — Ambiguous campaign or account selection. Use a profile-scoped key. A list still attached to a campaign may also be rejected by Google. The account may also be inactive or need reconnection (code ads_connection_required). Reconnect it and read GET /v1/accounts for its current ID before retrying.
- `422` — Google Ads connection is missing or unavailable.
- `429` — Google Ads operations budget or platform quota exhausted.
- `501` — Available only on Google Ads.
