​
Overview

Permanently deletes a record from your vault. Connections from other records that referenced the deleted record will become broken links — the Janitor will detect and can fix these.
This operation is permanent and cannot be undone.

​
Path Parameters

​
path
string
required
Relative path to the record (e.g., person/Alice Chen.md). URL-encode spaces and special characters.

​
Response

​
raw
string
Confirmation message. If the output is structured JSON, it is returned directly instead.
