# DELETE /connections/{phoneNumber}

`DELETE /connections/{phoneNumber}`

## Path parameters

- `phoneNumber` string, required

## Response `200`

Disconnected (auth state cleared)

## Other responses

- `403` — Forbidden — the API key does not own this connection. Returned when a connection is bound to a different API key.
- `409` — Owned by another live instance (worker role)
- `421` — Misdirected Request — in cluster mode, this instance does not own the connection. The owning instance id is in the x-baileys-owner header; a proxy re-routes the request there. Not returned for POST /connections/{phoneNumber} (explicit takeover).
