# Delete Customer Competitor

`DELETE /copilot/v1/customer-competitors/{competitorId}`

Permanently deletes a Customer Competitor identified by `competitorId`.
Deleting a competitor removes the associated competitive intelligence from the system.
This is a hard delete operation and cannot be undone.
If the specified `competitorId` does not exist, the endpoint returns **404 Not Found**.

If you want to hide a competitor without permanently removing it, use the [Archive Customer Competitor](https://docs.zoominfo.com/zoominfoenterprise/reference/customercompetitorsinterface_archivecustomercompetitor) endpoint instead.

Common use cases
- Remove outdated competitor profiles
- Clean up duplicate competitor records
- Reset competitor data before recreating it

## Other responses
