# Delete workspace

> Discard the draft. Cascades identity delete when the app was never published.

**`DELETE`** `https://api-datahub.octoparse.com/v1/data-apps/{app_id}/workspace`

Authentication: API key required (`Authorization: Bearer <API Key>`). App author only; others get `404`.

Discard the draft. If the app has no releases, the identity is cascade-deleted (no unpublished empty shells are kept; historical name bindings still apply for anti-squatting). Build snapshots are retained and cleaned up by GC.

Missing draft does not always short-circuit to `404`: an identity with no draft and zero releases (historical orphan) still goes through cascade cleanup, otherwise orphans could never be removed. `404` only when there is no draft but releases already exist.
