# Batch Delete Collections Api

`POST /api/kb/collections/batch-delete`

Delete multiple collections in one request.

For each name, runs the same pipeline as single delete (permissions, physical
trash, LanceDB, ``UploadedFile`` cleanup). Per-item failures are collected in
``failed``; they do not roll back earlier successful deletions in the batch.
LanceDB removal uses ``delete_collection`` with tenant-aware ``user_id`` and
``is_admin`` filtering. Returns ``deleted`` and ``failed`` name lists.
