# Deletes a client.

> The client is marked inactive, not removed, so its history stays intact while it disappears
from every list. A client that still has records attached to it cannot be deleted: assets,
open tickets, active contacts, contracts, products, bundles or active web domains all block
it, and the 409 message names what is blocking and how many. The app warns about these and
deletes anyway; this endpoint refuses so nothing is lost to a request that cannot be undone.
Deleting an already-deleted client succeeds, so a retried request is safe.
