# Delete Received Email

> DELETE /emails/receiving/:id — permanently delete a received email and its stored objects.

`DELETE /emails/receiving/:id`

Permanently deletes a received email and all of its associated storage objects — the raw `.eml` file and every attachment stored for that email. This action cannot be undone. Requires a **write-scoped** API key.

**Path parameters**

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Yes | The id of the received email to delete. |
