# Delete a knowledge-base document

`DELETE https://api.morevoice.ai/v1/kb/documents/{id}`

Deletes the document, its passages and its stored original. Assistants and the copilot stop answering from it at once.

Authenticate with a secret API key: `Authorization: Bearer $MOREVOICE_API_KEY`.

Operation ID: `kb_documents_delete`.

## Parameters

### Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | `string` | yes | A kb document ID (`kbd_…`). |

### Headers

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `MoreVoice-Version` | `string` | no | The API version to use for this request. Defaults to the version the API key is pinned to. |
| `Idempotency-Key` | `string` | no | A unique key (for example a UUID) that makes this request safe to retry: for 24 hours, a retry with the same key and parameters returns the first response instead of acting twice. |
