# Delete a customer

> Soft-delete a customer record.

Removes the customer from this workspace's active list. Any ugwos
already attached to the customer keep their reference for reporting,
but the customer will not appear in [list](/customers/list) or be
fetchable by ID afterwards.

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="uid" type="string" required>
  Customer ID, `ony.XXXX.YYYY...`.
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns the deleted customer (the snapshot from just before deletion).
