# Deleting Tents

> Delete a tent and its associated public assets through the public API.

## Endpoint

```bash theme={null}
DELETE /v1/tents/{identifier}
```

`identifier` can be:

* The tent UUID
* The current published alias for that tent
* `__index__` for a tent published at the domain root

## Request Examples

Delete by UUID:

```bash theme={null}
curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.tented.ai/v1/tents/f11ef3cf-8664-4fe5-a261-c5b4d647b7d1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TENTED_API_KEY"
```

Delete by alias:

```bash theme={null}
curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.tented.ai/v1/tents/launch-page \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TENTED_API_KEY"
```

Delete a root-page tent:

```bash theme={null}
curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.tented.ai/v1/tents/__index__ \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TENTED_API_KEY"
```

## Response Example

```json theme={null}
{
  "message": "Tent deleted successfully",
  "tent_id": "f11ef3cf-8664-4fe5-a261-c5b4d647b7d1"
}
```

## What Gets Removed

Deleting a tent removes the tent record and its related public artifacts, including:

* Uploaded tent assets
* Published page assets for that tent
* Alias reservations for published pages
* Form submission delivery configs tied to the tent
* Scheduled automations associated with the tent

## Identifier Rules

* If you use a UUID, it must be a valid v4 tent ID
* If you use an alias, it must match the same alias validation rules as publishing
* For the root page, use `__index__` in the path segment

| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `400 Bad Request`  | The identifier is empty or not a valid tent ID / alias |
| `401 Unauthorized` | Missing or invalid bearer token                        |
