# Delete a store

client.SecretsStore.Stores.Delete(ctx, storeID, params) (\*[StoreDeleteResponse](<https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/go/resources/secrets_store#(resource)%20secrets_store.stores%20%3E%20(model)%20StoreDeleteResponse%20%3E%20(schema)>), error)

DELETE/accounts/{account\_id}/secrets\_store/stores/{store\_id}

Deletes a single store. By default, a store that still contains secrets cannot be deleted and returns HTTP 409 (Conflict) with the “store\_not\_empty” error. Pass `force=true` to cascade-delete all secrets in the store. Empty stores are always deleted regardless of the force parameter.

##### Security

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.

**Example:**`X-Auth-Email: user@example.com`

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.

**Example:**`X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194`
