API endpoint, it appears to perform what's called a "soft delete" rather than a complete removal of all data.
Here's what I know:
1. Users have reported that after making a DELETE request to this endpoint (which returns a 200 OK status), call logs may still appear on the dashboard [(source)](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1337314227857391627)
2. Call recordings and data are generally stored by Vapi until the owner manually deletes them [(source)](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1332057254471401545)
3. A complete "hard delete" that removes all data from backend systems appears to require specific intervention from Vapi's support team [(source)](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1337314227857391627)
I wasn't able to find explicit documentation that confirms whether call recordings specifically are retained or completely removed when using this API endpoint. If you need a guaranteed removal of all call recordings, you might want to reach out for clarification on the complete deletion process.
