> Delete a subproject.

Delete a subproject.

### Schema

```yaml
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: API
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  /api/projects/{id}:
    delete:
      operationId: subpackageProjects_delete_subproject
      summary: Delete a project
      description: >-
        Deletes a project.


        With a project API token, only subprojects can be deleted; targeting the
        root

        project returns `422 only_subprojects_can_be_deleted`. With a Personal
        access token,

        a root project can be deleted as well.


        In both cases the project must be empty first: remove its subprojects

        (`subprojects_must_be_removed`) and its phone numbers

        (`phone_numbers_must_be_removed`). The last remaining project in a space
        cannot be

        deleted (`last_project_cannot_be_deleted`).


        On a successful subproject delete, the subproject's registry brands and
        campaigns

        are migrated up to the parent project.


        Use this operation only for a project that is ready to retire. The
        Compatibility API cannot close an account; its [Update
        account](/docs/compatibility-api/rest/accounts/update-account) operation
        only renames one, so deleting the project here is the API path for
        retiring it.


        #### Permissions


        With a project API token, the token must have the following scope(s)
        enabled to make a successful request: _Management_.


        With a [Personal access
        token](/docs/apis/authorization#personal-access-tokens) there are no
        scopes. The token holder must be an owner or admin of the space, and the
        request reaches only the projects the holder is enabled for, plus their
        subprojects.
