Delete a key

Deletes a key and schedules every version's destruction.

Checked 2026-09-28

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 key and schedules every version's destruction.

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

Scope keys:write
Effect destructive — a successful call removes data; the CLI asks before it runs.
