## Definitions

### `dev.cocore.account.deleteApiKey`

**Type**: `procedure`

Hard-delete one of the authenticated account's API keys, removing the row entirely (no audit trail recovery afterwards). For most flows revokeApiKey is preferable; use this to clean up revoked or expired keys you no longer want listed. Scoped to the caller's DID. Idempotent: deleting an unknown key returns `deleted: false`.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | `string` | Yes | The `id` of the key to delete (from createApiKey or listApiKeys). |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `deleted` | `boolean` | Yes | True if a key owned by the caller was deleted by this call; false if no matching key existed. |

#### Errors

- **AuthRequired**: No valid session cookie or bearer key was presented.
