# Delete

#### Description

The `delete` command allows staff members to delete suggestions. It is the equivalent of a [deny](/docs/v1/staff/deny.md) command for approved suggestions. When this command is run, the suggestion creator will be sent a DM that their suggestion has been deleted. If a denied suggestions channel is configured, the suggestion will be posted into the denied suggestions feed.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Once a suggestion is denied, it is denied forever. It cannot be approved from the denied state.
{% endhint %}

#### Required Arguments 

* `suggestion id` - A number that represents the suggestion's ID

{% hint style="warning" %}
This command only works on suggestions that have been previously **approved**.
{% endhint %}

#### Optional Arguments

* `reason` - Reason for deleting the suggestion

#### Usage

```
.delete [suggestion id] (reason)
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Arguments in `[brackets]` are required, while arguments in `(parenthesis)` are optional.
{% endhint %}

#### Permission Required

Any user with the **Manage Server** permission, the configured admin role, or the configured review role can use this command.
