Deleting an API permanently removes the proxy API from the CentraSite registry.
To delete a proxy API, the following conditions must be met:
You cannot delete the predefined APIs (not even if you have the default permissions associated with the CentraSite Administrator role).
If you are not the owner of the API, you cannot delete the API unless you have "Manage Assets" permission (granted though a role-based permission) or at least Full permission on the API (granted through an instance-level permission).
You cannot delete an API that is in pending state (e.g., awaiting approval).
You cannot delete an API if any user in your CentraSite registry is currently modifying the API.
Deleting an API will not remove the supporting documents that are attached to it.
You can delete a single proxy API or a selected set of proxy APIs. The descriptions in this section give you details on how to do this.
Use the following procedure to delete a single API.
