# Delete (soft) a prior authorization

`DELETE /v1/prior-authorizations/{id}`

Soft-delete a prior authorization by setting `active=false`. Distinct from `status=cancelled`: cancellation is a legitimate workflow end-state, deletion is a retraction of a wrong submission. Deleted authorizations are excluded from list endpoints and return 404 on subsequent GETs.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- DeletedResource — Standard response for DELETE endpoints: confirms the id and that it was deleted.
  - `id` string, required
  - `deleted` boolean

## Other responses

- `400` — Validation error
- `401` — Authentication required
- `404` — Not found
