# Delete transactional email

`DELETE /transactional/{idOrSlug}`

Permanently deletes a saved transactional email template by ID or slug, so its slug stops sending and becomes free to reuse.

Already-sent deliveries are untouched: send history, stats, and stored HTML live on the deliveries themselves.

The email content is kept as a reusable template and returned as `deleted.emailId`; pass that to `DELETE /api/v1/templates/{templateId}` to remove the content too. To stop sends without losing the template, update it with `enabled: false` instead.

Requires an API key with the `transactional:delete` scope.
