# Delete Policy

> Permanently delete a policy and its transactions

Permanently deletes a policy and every transaction linked to it. This is a hard delete, not a soft delete. The policy must belong to the authenticated upstream entity.

<Warning>
  This action cannot be undone. Deleting a policy also deletes all of its transactions.
</Warning>

## Path Parameters

| Parameter      | Type   | Required | Description                                        |

## Response
