# Delete wallet

Deletes the wallet from its exact owning custody target when that Provider supports wallet deletion.

`DELETE /v1/wallets`

Provider, when supplied, is a consistency assertion.

Requires an [API key](/docs/developing-with-sdp/authentication) with the `wallets.execute` action.

## Headers

- **`x-project-id`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `prj_example`

  Required for dashboard sessions. API keys use their assigned project.

- **`Idempotency-Key`** · `string`

  Use a unique 1–255 printable ASCII key per operation. Reuse it with the same request on retries. An in-flight attempt returns `409`; a changed request returns `422`. [Retry and recovery rules](/docs/developing-with-sdp/idempotency).

## Request body

`application/json` · required

Delete wallet request body.

- **`provider`** · `string` · one of `local`, `fireblocks`, `privy`, `coinbase_cdp`, `para`, `turnkey`, `dfns`, `ibm_haven`, `anchorage`, `utila` · example `anchorage`

  Optional consistency assertion for the Provider of the wallet being deleted.

- **`walletId`** · `string` · required · min length 1 · example `anchorage_wallet_123`

  Provider wallet ID to delete from its exact owning target.

## Responses

- **`200`** Wallet deleted

  - **`data`** · `object` · required

    Delete wallet response payload.

    - **`walletId`** · `string` · required · min length 1 · example `anchorage_wallet_123`

      Wallet ID that was deleted.

    - **`deleted`** · `boolean` · required · always `true` · example `true`

      Deletion confirmation flag.

  - **`meta`** · `object` · required

    Response metadata.

    - **`requestId`** · `string` · required · min length 1 · example `req_example`

      Request identifier for tracing.

    - **`timestamp`** · `string` · required · format `date-time` · example `2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`

      ISO 8601 timestamp.

- **`400`** Bad Request

  - **`error`** · `object` · required

    Standard error payload.

    - **`code`** · `string` · required

      Machine-readable error code.

    - **`message`** · `string` · required

      Human-readable error message.

    - **`details`** · `object`

      Optional error details for debugging.

      Request identifier for tracing.

- **`401`** Unauthorized

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`403`** Forbidden. Requires the `wallets.execute` action: an API key must hold it (a module's `manage` or `execute` also covers its `read`), and a signed-in member's organization role must include it. Without it the error is INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS and `error.details.action` names the action. Any other 403 names its own reason.

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`404`** Not Found

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`409`** Conflict

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`422`** Unprocessable Entity

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`500`** Internal Server Error

  Same fields as `400`.
