# Delete Watch

> Soft-delete a watch (sets deleted_at)

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>Watch ID (`wat_*`).</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="id" type="string">The deleted watch ID.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="object" type="string">Always `"watch"`.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="deleted" type="boolean">Always `true`.</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="request_id" type="string">Request identifier.</ResponseField>

## Notes

This is a soft delete: the row is retained with `deleted_at` set so existing
alerts continue to resolve `watch_id` lookups. Soft-deleted watches no
longer appear in [List Watches](/api-reference/monitoring/watches/list)
and the evaluator skips them.

## Example

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE "https://api.signa.so/v1/watches/wat_01HK7M..." \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $SIGNA_API_KEY" \
    -H "Idempotency-Key: delete-wat-01HK7M-2026-06-12"
  ```

  ```ts TypeScript theme={null}
  await signa.watches.delete('wat_01HK7M...');
  ```
