Likely causes

• You called apis.deleteApi, apps.deleteApp, or projects.deleteProject on a resource with delete protection on. The message names the resource type.

​

How to fix

1. Make sure you really mean to delete it. Deleting an API from the dashboard also deletes its keyspace and every key in it. Deleting a project removes its apps, environments, and deployments.
2. Turn off delete protection in the dashboard, or with the resource’s update endpoint where it has the setting. See Delete protection for where the switch is.
3. Delete it again.
