# Delete an application.

`GET /WebApp/delete`

This function deletes an application: it stops the application's
running process and removes its container, moves the application's
directory aside to a `.bak` sibling (kept for verification or rollback
rather than deleted), and removes the application from the account's
registry.

Deleting an application cannot be undone, so it requires an explicit
confirmation: `verify` must be `1` to proceed. A `verify` of `0` makes
no changes and returns a confirmation-required error.

The application's domain is not affected; subdomains are managed
independently.

On failure, the `metadata.error_category` field carries a
machine-readable failure category.

**Important**:

  The `verify` parameter is **required** and has no default. You must
  set it to `1` to confirm this irreversible operation.

      - `error_category` 'teardown_failed' | 'deploy_in_progress', nullable — The machine-readable failure category. Only present when `status` is `0`. * `teardown_failed` — The system could not fully remove the application (its container or its files); the application remains registered so the deletion can be retried. * `deploy_in_progress` — The application has a deploy currently in flight; wait for it to finish or fail, then retry.
    - `status` 0 | 1 — - `1` - Success. - `0` - Failed. Check the `errors` field for more details.
    - `warnings` string[], nullable — List of warnings generated by the API. Warnings describe non-critical failures or other problematic conditions noted while running a API.
