# Delete account

> Hard-delete an empty account under your organization

`DELETE /api/v2/accounts/{customerId}`

Permanently deletes an account under your organization. Only `CHILD`-type accounts can be deleted, and the caller must be an `ADMIN` on the organization. The call refuses with `409` if the account still has linked resources — unwind those first.

## Request

```bash curl theme={null}
curl -X DELETE https://api.interchange.io/api/v2/accounts/200 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCOPE3_API_KEY"
```

## Parameters

| Field        | Type   | Required | Notes                                       |
| ------------ | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `customerId` | string | Yes      | Path parameter. ID of the account to delete |

## Response

`204 No Content`. The account is removed; there is no response body.

## Errors

* `401 UNAUTHORIZED` — caller is not an `ADMIN` on the organization.
* `409 CONFLICT` — the account still has linked resources.

See [Errors](/v2/reference/errors) for the full error contract.
