# Delete device

Canonical page: https://docs.ovok.com/api/slim/device/delete-device

`DELETE /v1/slim/device/{id}`

Deletes a device from your project.

**Auth:** bearer token. The caller must be a practitioner, an admin or a System Owner, and needs `Device:delete`. System Owners cannot delete devices.
**Scope:** the device must belong to the caller's project (from the token).

## Behaviour

- The Device resource is deleted. This cannot be undone.
- If a resident is assigned, they are unassigned and their active out-of-bed episode is closed in the same transaction.
- The device's use history is updated in the same transaction.
- The delete is recorded in the change history.
- The response has no body.

## Example

```bash
curl -X DELETE 'https://api.sandbox.ovok.com/v1/slim/device/c3499c27-2973-0a7f-807e-fb8676a92dcb' \
