# prospects_delete

> Permanently delete a vendor prospect.

<!-- Source: https://docs.actuallycare.com/tools/prospects/prospects_delete -->

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

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `prospect_id` | string | Yes | UUID of the prospect to delete. Must be archived first. Use [`prospects_get`](/tools/prospects/prospects_get) to verify. · Format: UUID |

## Example prompts

- "Permanently delete the duplicate prospect record I created for Summit Lending."
- "Clear out that archived test prospect, but double-check with me before deleting."

## Safety

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