# DELETE /v1/memory

> Forget everything about one user (user_id), or the company's own Bash.

In [Memory API](https://vestra.ai/developers/reference/api/memory.md): What Bash remembers about each user: read it, search it, add to it, forget it.

Send `Authorization: Bearer vk_test_...` on every call.

Forget everything about one user (user_id), or the company's own Bash.

Your API key, or a session's token, scope `runtime` or `all`. On the card: [`memory`](https://vestra.ai/developers/memory.md). Every call here is a checked sample.

## Request

Query:

- `user_id` (`string`): Whose memory, by your id for them. Absent: your company's own Bash's.

## Answers 200

- `user_id` (`string | null`): Whose memory it was, by your id for them; null for your company's own Bash.
- `deleted` (`true`): Always true: Bash no longer remembers any of it.
- `memories_deleted` (`integer`): How many memories were forgotten.
