Notes

• This action is permanent and cannot be undone
• The resume is immediately removed from your account
• You can only delete resumes that belong to your account
• Cover letters cannot be deleted through this endpoint
• After deletion, the resume ID becomes invalid
• Consider retrieving the resume data before deleting if you might need it later

Best Practices

• Always verify the resume ID before deleting
• Consider implementing a confirmation step in your application
• Use the Retrieve endpoint to back up important resume data before deletion
• Check the response status to confirm successful deletion
