# issue_delete

> Move an issue to the trash, from where it can be restored. Set `permanently_delete` to erase it instead — that cannot be undone.

<div className="tool-route"><span className="tool-row-method" data-method="POST">POST</span><code>{"https://api.linear.app/graphql"}</code></div>

```python linear_issue_delete.py theme={null}
from charter.packs import linear

result = await linear.issue_delete.ainvoke({"variables": ...})
```

<Note>
  Posts a GraphQL document to `POST /graphql`, as every tool in this pack does.
