## Delete a message from system

**delete** `/v3/messages/{messageId}`

Deletes a message from the Linq API only. This does NOT unsend or remove the message
from the actual chat — recipients will still see the message.

### Path Parameters

- `messageId: string`

### Example

```http
curl https://api.linqapp.com/api/partner/v3/messages/$MESSAGE_ID \
    -X DELETE \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINQ_API_V3_API_KEY"
```

#### Response

```json
{
  "error": {
    "status": 400,
    "code": 1002,
    "message": "Phone number must be in E.164 format"
  },
  "success": false
}
```
