# Delete a static List

`DELETE /v1/lists/{id}`

- Authentication: required (Bearer token)
- Required scope: `api.lists.manage`

Deletes a managed List definition. On writes, `{id}` resolves as a UUID
or, failing that, as the List's org-unique key. Git-backed Lists are
read-only here (`409 conflict`) — the sync owns them, and removing the
key from the repo archives (never deletes) the List. The ClickHouse
membership log is left in place (harmless once the definition is gone).

## Path parameters

- `id` (string, required) — The List's UUID or, when the value does not parse as a UUID, its org-unique key. Unknown handles read as `404 not_found`.

## Example request

```bash
curl -X DELETE 'https://api.sendops.dev/v1/lists/string' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENDOPS_API_KEY"
```

### 409 — The mutation is rejected by a state rule rather than a bad request — e.g.
editing a git-backed (read-only) definition. The `code` is `conflict`.

{
  "type": "https://example.com",
  "title": "string",
  "status": 0,
  "detail": "string",
  "code": "invalid_key",
  "request_id": "string",
  "retry_after": 0,
  "retention_days": 0,
  "scope": "string",
  "resource": "string",
  "errors": [
    {
      "field": "string",
      "reason": "string"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 429 — Per-org rate limit exceeded

Content type: `application/problem+json`

```json
{
  "type": "https://example.com",
  "title": "string",
  "status": 0,
  "detail": "string",
  "code": "invalid_key",
  "request_id": "string",
  "retry_after": 0,
  "retention_days": 0,

    {
      "field": "string",
      "reason": "string"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 500 — Unexpected server-side failure. The `code` is `internal_error`. The
`request_id` field can be quoted to SendOps support to investigate.
