Deleting a zettel within the Zettelstore is executed on the first [[box|00001004011200]] that contains that zettel. Zettel with the same identifier, but in subsequent boxes remain. If the first box containing the zettel is read-only, deleting that zettel will fail, as well for a Zettelstore in [[read-only mode|00001004010000#read-only-mode]] or if [[authentication is enabled|00001010040100]] and the user has no [[access right|00001010070600]] to do so. The [[endpoint|00001012920000]] to delete a zettel is ''/z/{ID}'', where ''{ID}'' is a placeholder for the [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]]. You must send a HTTP DELETE request to this endpoint: ``` # curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:23123/z/00001000000000 ``` === HTTP Status codes ; ''204'' : Delete was successful, there is no body in the response. ; ''403'' : You are not allowed to delete the given zettel. Maybe you do not have enough access rights, or either the box or Zettelstore itself operate in read-only mode. ; ''404'' : Zettel not found. You probably specified a zettel identifier that is not used in the Zettelstore.
