# Delete Flow

> Deletes a Flow that is still in `DRAFT`. A published Flow is 409 `FLOW_NOT_DRAFT` — it can only be cloned. Takes no body and no query parameter: the number is the key's own, and naming `whatsappNumberId`, `wabaId` or `metaWabaId` in the query is 400 `FLOW_NUMBER_FROM_KEY` rather than a silent delete of the key's Flow. Permission `flows:manage`.

**Requires a number-scoped key.** A tenant-scoped key must name the number with the `x-whatsapp-number-id` header, or it gets 403 `TENANT_SCOPE_NOT_ALLOWED`.
