# MSC2526: Add ability to delete key backups
|

|
[MSC1219](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1219) defined a
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism for key backups. However, it inadvertently omitted the endpoint to
|
|
|
|
|
delete an entire key backup. This proposal adds the endpoint.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Proposal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An endpoint is added, `DELETE /room_keys/version/{version}`, that deletes a
|
|
|
|
|
backup version. Both the information about the key backup, as well as all keys
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the backup should be deleted. Like `POST
|
|
|
|
|
/room_keys/version/{version}`, and unlike `GET /room_keys/version/{version}`,
|
|
|
|
|
`{version}` cannot be empty, to ensure that the wrong backup is not
|
|
|
|
|
accidentally deleted.
