> **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 route.

**Not available yet.** Sylphx Network 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/projects/shop/envs/production/routes/route`
- **Scope** `network:write`
- **Effect** `destructive` — a successful call removes data; the CLI asks before it runs.
- **Collection** [routes](/docs/api/routes)
- **Query** `etag`, `allow_missing`, `validate_only`
- **Operation** answers with an `Operation`; the result is `Empty`
