# Delete a reconciliation draft

DELETE `/partners/reconciliations/{uuid}`

Deletes a draft reconciliation.

Use it to clean up a draft created with the wrong date or balance, then create the correct one. No transactions or journal entries change, and later drafts on the account re-open on the remaining chain. A statement file attached to the draft is removed unless something else still uses it.

HMAC signature + Bearer access token
