# Delete a draft invoice

Permanently deletes a one-off invoice draft. This cannot be undone. Attempts to delete invoices that are no longer in a draft state will fail; once an invoice has been finalized or if an invoice is for a subscription, it must be [voided](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/void.md).

## Returns

A successfully deleted invoice. Otherwise, this call raises [an error](https://docs.stripe.com/api/errors.md), such as if the invoice has already been deleted.

```node
const stripe = require('stripe')('<<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>>');

const deleted = await stripe.invoices.del('in_1MtHbELkdIwHu7ixl4OzzPMv');
```

### Response

```json
{
  "id": "in_1MtHbELkdIwHu7ixl4OzzPMv",
  "object": "invoice",
  "deleted": true
}
```
