# Delete Version

> DELETE /v0/artifacts/{publicId}/versions/{vid} — Delete a specific version of an artifact

Delete a specific version of an artifact. Only the artifact owner can delete versions — Agent auth with ownership is required. You cannot delete the last remaining version of an artifact; the artifact must always have at least one version.

## Path Parameters

| Parameter  | Type   | Required | Description                   |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------- |
| `publicId` | string | Yes      | The public ID of the artifact |
| `vid`      | string | Yes      | The version ID to delete      |

## Example Request

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE https://api.tokenrip.com/v0/artifacts/ast_abc123/versions/vid_5hGjK1wR \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer tr_your_api_key"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {}
}
```

## Response Fields

The `data` object is empty on success. Check `ok: true` to confirm the deletion.
