# Bulk Delete Content

`POST /v1/content/bulk-delete`

Permanently delete up to 500 content items in one request.

INTERNAL / undocumented for now — secret-key only. Each item gets the exact
same treatment as DELETE /v1/content/{id}: tombstoned (immediate + final,
drops from feeds/search/API), external_id freed, import job re-evaluated,
Mux playback IDs revoked via the teardown task, and removed from the
discovery pool. Media is RETAINED (revoke-not-destroy). Deleted content
cannot be restored through the API.

ids that don't resolve inside the caller's org (cross-org, already-deleted,
unknown) are reported in ``failed`` and never touched. The whole batch is a
single transaction — either every resolvable id is tombstoned or none are.
