# Remove a verified recipient

Removes the address from the account's list, pending or verified; every link mailed for it stops working. Adding it again starts over with a new link. Reachable by the account's own key or a system key.

## `DELETE /api/v1/accounts/{accountId}/verified-recipients/{recipientId}`

### Path parameters

- `accountId` (string, required) — Account ULID identifier
- `recipientId` (string, required) — Verified recipient ULID

### Responses

**200** — Removed

`application/json` → DeletedResult

- `deleted` (boolean, required) — True if the resource was successfully deleted

**401** — unauthorized: the bearer credential is missing, malformed, expired, or revoked. Carries a `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` challenge

`application/json` → ErrorBody

**404** — not_found: the account or the recipient does not exist, or is not accessible to this principal

`application/json` → ErrorBody

**503** — temporary_failure: the platform's storage could not answer just now; retry after the Retry-After window. Any operation can answer this. A write that got it may have been applied, so retry it with the same idempotency key where it takes one, or read the state back first (see Transient failures in the API description)

`application/json` → ErrorBody

curl -X DELETE 'https://api.open.email/api/v1/accounts/{accountId}/verified-recipients/{recipientId}' \
