# Delete Code Artifact

**DELETE** `/v1/compliance/apps/code/artifacts/{artifact_id}`

Permanently deletes a Code Artifact and all its versions. This is a
destructive operation that cannot be undone. A 200 response means the
deletion is initiated and the Artifact is claimed; content removal
completes asynchronously.

Returns 404 for Artifacts that don't exist or belong to another parent
organization. Returns 404 on a repeated delete of an already-deleted
Artifact.

## Path parameters

- `artifact_id: string`

  The Artifact ID (tagged ID, e.g., cart_abc123)

## Headers

- `"anthropic-version": optional string`

  The version of the Claude API you want to use.

  Read more about versioning and our version history [here](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning?sdk_languages=http).

- `"x-api-key": optional string`

## Returns

- `type: "code_artifact_deleted"`

  Constant string confirming deletion

  default: code_artifact_deleted

- `id: string`

  The ID of the Artifact that was deleted
