# Delete article confidentiality

`DELETE /account/articles/{article_id}/confidentiality`

Delete confidentiality settings. The confidentiality feature is now deprecated. This has been replaced by the new extended embargo functionality and all items that used to be confidential have now been migrated to items with a permanent embargo on files.
