Deletes a category nothing uses. Nothing is removed on your behalf: delete or move its child categories, remove it from every component, page and contract classified with it, and clear it from every category field value first.

Key: a management key with content.management.authoring.

id
required
string format: uuid

OK

missing_api_key or invalid_api_key: no key was sent, or it is unknown, revoked or expired.

payment_required: the organization’s subscription needs attention.

permission_denied: the key’s role lacks content.taxonomy.manage.

scope_denied: the key lacks this route’s scope. tier_required: the Content Management API needs the Pro plan or above. ip_denied: the caller’s address is outside the key’s allowed ranges. app_not_available: Content is not enabled for the organization.

No category has this id in the key’s environment.

category_in_use: something still uses the category; usages lists each as { sourceKind, sourceId }, where sourceKind is category, component, node or contract. taxonomy_read_only: the group or category comes from a content provider and changes only when that provider is refreshed. inherited_read_only: the item is inherited from another environment and can only be changed there; sourceEnvironmentId names it.

Rate limit or quota exceeded; Retry-After says how long to wait. too_many_failed_authentications: too many bad keys from this address.
