> Permanently delete a vendor partner.

Permanently delete a vendor partner. This is IRREVERSIBLE - the partner will be hidden from all views including archived. The partner must be archived first. For normal cleanup, use [`partners_archive`](/tools/partners/partners_archive) instead, which is reversible.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `partner_id` | string | Yes | UUID of the partner to delete. Must be archived first. Use [`partners_get`](/tools/partners/partners_get) to verify. · Format: UUID |

## Example prompts

- "Permanently delete the duplicate partner record for Dana Whitfield."
- "Delete that archived test partner for good, but double-check with me before removing it."

## Safety

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