> **This method is not served on the public API.** `api.sylphx.com` does not route this call: its backend is not deployed behind the public API, or does not implement the call. This page documents the contract. It is kept out of the sidebar and of search engines.

Deletes a connection provider; it must have no connections.

**Not available yet.** Sylphx Connections is declared in the registry but no backend serves it: every call answers `501` with the problem code `UNIMPLEMENTED`.

- **Path** `DELETE https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/connection_providers/connection-provider`
- **Scope** `connections:admin`
- **Effect** `destructive` — a successful call removes data; the CLI asks before it runs.
- **Collection** [connection_providers](/docs/api/connection_providers)
- **Query** `etag`, `validate_only`, `force`

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | The name of the connection provider to delete. Required. |
| `etag` | `string` | Delete only if the current etag matches. |
| `validate_only` | `bool` | Validate without deleting anything. |
| `force` | `bool` | Also delete every child Resource; without it a parent with children fails with FAILED_PRECONDITION. |

## Response

The call answers with an empty object.

## Errors

- [`UNAUTHENTICATED`](/docs/api/errors/UNAUTHENTICATED) — No valid key or token was presented.
- [`PERMISSION_DENIED`](/docs/api/errors/PERMISSION_DENIED) — The key lacks the method's permission.
- [`RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`](/docs/api/errors/RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND) — The named Resource does not exist or is not visible.
- [`ETAG_MISMATCH`](/docs/api/errors/ETAG_MISMATCH) — The etag sent does not match the Resource's current etag.
- [`INVALID_STATE`](/docs/api/errors/INVALID_STATE) — The Resource is in a state that forbids the call.
- [`IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`](/docs/api/errors/IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED) — An Idempotency-Key was reused with another body.
- [`IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS`](/docs/api/errors/IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS) — The first call with this Idempotency-Key is still running.

Every error arrives in the body [Errors](/docs/platform/errors) describes.
