# Delete an ad set

`DELETE /v1/ads/ad-sets/{adSetId}`

Deletes the ad set on the platform, cascading to its ads only (never the
campaign). Locally, every Ad document under the ad set is marked
`status: cancelled`.

Delete is soft on platforms that have no hard delete: LinkedIn moves the
campaign to `PENDING_DELETION`, Pinterest archives the ad group, and X
soft-flags the line item. Google removes the ad group. All remain readable
for reporting.

## Path parameters
