Overview

The Delete Snippet endpoint permanently removes a code snippet from your account. This action cannot be undone and will cause failures in any checks that reference the deleted snippet. Common Use Cases:
  • Code Cleanup
  • Unused Snippet Removal
  • Resource Management
  • Account Maintenance
Deleting snippets is permanent and will cause failures in any checks that reference them. Ensure no active checks depend on the snippet before deletion.
Before deleting snippets, review all checks to ensure they don’t reference the snippet. Consider updating dependent checks first.
