> Permanently delete an appointment.

<!-- Source: https://docs.actuallycare.com/tools/appointments/appointments_delete -->

Permanently delete an appointment. This is IRREVERSIBLE - the appointment will be hidden from all views including archived. Only use for test data or duplicate records. For normal cleanup, use [`appointments_archive`](/tools/appointments/appointments_archive) instead which is reversible. Returns confirmation of the deletion.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `appointment_id` | string | Yes | UUID of the appointment to delete. Use [`appointments_get`](/tools/appointments/appointments_get) first to verify. |

## Example prompts

- "Permanently delete the duplicate signing appointment I accidentally created twice."
- "Delete that test appointment for good, but confirm with me before it's gone forever."

## Safety

**Irreversible.** This action cannot be undone. Claude should always confirm with you before running it.
