# Delete a team

DELETE`/v1/teams/{team_id}`[Token scope: `teams:write`](https://developers.tasksmate.indrasol.com/guides/authentication/#scopes)

Request

**curl**


```bash
curl -X DELETE "https://tasksmate-fdfsarhnf5gacfb7.eastus-01.azurewebsites.net/v1/teams/<team_id>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TASKSMATE_TOKEN"
```

**Python**


```python
from tasksmate import TasksMate

tm = TasksMate()  # reads TASKSMATE_TOKEN
result = tm.teams.delete("<team_id>")
print(result)
```

Response 200

```json
{
  "ok": false,
  "team_id": "string",
  "detached_projects": 0,
  "detached_tasks": 0
}
```

SOFT delete (`is_active = false`; the team disappears from lists, its id stays valid for history). Never deletes a project or a task.

## Authorizations

-   **[bearerAuth](https://developers.tasksmate.indrasol.com/reference/#bearerauth)**
-   **[TasksMateToken](https://developers.tasksmate.indrasol.com/reference/#tasksmatetoken)**

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**reason**

Any of:

**string**
