This action is irreversible. All associated data including access logs and analytics will be permanently deleted. Consider archiving content instead if you want to preserve historical data.
curl -X DELETE https://api.raily.ai/v1/content/cnt_abc123xyz \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer raily_sk_xxxxx"

{
  "id": "cnt_abc123xyz",
  "object": "content",
  "deleted": true
}

​
Alternative: Archive Instead of Delete

If you want to disable access but preserve data: 
// Archive - preserves data, disables access
await raily.content.update('cnt_abc123xyz', {
  status: 'archived'
});

// Later, restore if needed
await raily.content.update('cnt_abc123xyz', {
  status: 'active'
});

​
Bulk Delete

To delete multiple content items: 
const ids = ['cnt_abc123', 'cnt_def456', 'cnt_ghi789'];

const results = await raily.content.bulkDelete({ ids });

console.log(`Deleted: ${results.deleted}`);
console.log(`Failed: ${results.failed}`);
