# escrows_delete

> Permanently delete an escrow.

<!-- Source: https://docs.actuallycare.com/tools/escrows/escrows_delete -->

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

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `escrow_id` | string | Yes | UUID of the escrow to delete. Use [`escrows_get`](/tools/escrows/escrows_get) first to verify. |

## Example prompts

- "Permanently delete the duplicate Birchwood Ln escrow we entered twice last week."
- "Get rid of that test escrow for good, but double-check with me before deleting."

## Safety

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