# Delete a conversation

```{raw} html
<div class="mo-api-page-show-toc" aria-hidden="true"></div>
```

Delete a local conversation. The conversation and its items can no longer be accessed through these endpoints.

```text
DELETE https://token.moi.matrixorigin.cn/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}
```

## Before you begin

1. Prepare a [personal access token](../../../../guides/billing/credentials.md#personal-access-token) with Genesis access.
2. Use the credential used to [Create a conversation](create-conversation.md), and choose a local conversation that has not been deleted or bound to an upstream model.

## Request example

Replace `$GENESIS_ACCESS_TOKEN` and `$CONVERSATION_ID` with your personal access token and the selected conversation ID.

```bash
curl -X DELETE "https://token.moi.matrixorigin.cn/v1/conversations/$CONVERSATION_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GENESIS_ACCESS_TOKEN"
```
