# Delete a blog article

`DELETE /v1/accounts/{accountId}/blogs/{blogId}/articles/{articleId}`

Deletes the article. The delete happens on the platform and is
permanent; Zernio stores nothing to restore it from. On WordPress the
post is force-deleted, while uploaded attachments and tags remain in
the site's media library and taxonomy.

Supported on Shopify (`shopify`) and WordPress (`wordpress`).

## Path parameters

- `accountId` string, required
- `blogId` string, required
- `articleId` string, required

## Response `204`

Article deleted (no content).

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid request
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — The platform rejected the request (code insufficient_permissions); reconnect the account or restore the WordPress user capabilities.
- `404` — Account not found or not accessible (code account_not_found), blog not found (code blog_not_found), or article not found (code blog_article_not_found).
- `405` — Platform does not support deleting an article.
- `429` — Rate limited by Zernio or the connected platform. Retry later.
- `502` — The connected platform returned an unclassified upstream error. Article deletion is not blindly retried.
