DELETE/projects/{project_id}/snapshots/{snapshot_id}

Delete a snapshot

Deletes a specified snapshot from a project. Use project_id and snapshot_id to identify the project and snapshot. Deletion is asynchronous; the response includes operation details for tracking progress.

2 parameters
project_idstringrequired
The Neon project ID. Must contain 1–60 lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens.
snapshot_idstringrequired
The snapshot ID. Must contain 1–60 lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens.

2 status codes
202Returns an `operations` array with the asynchronous operation details, including its identifier, action, status, timestamps, and progress information.
operationsarray<object>required
defaultGeneral Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout. Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry. Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress.
request_idstringoptional
Unique identifier for the request, useful for debugging. You can set this value manually by including an `X-Request-ID` header in the request. If not provided, the value will be generated automatically.
codestringrequired
Machine-readable code classifying the error type. See `message` for a human-readable explanation.

The project_id path parameter and snapshot_id path parameter must each contain 1–60 lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens. The snapshot must belong to the specified project.
