# Atomically delete all Lives in this workspace

DELETE https://api.bibleit.app/v1/accounts/{account_id}/lives

Delete all Lives owned by the authenticated personal workspace in one account-locked transaction. Current `live.delete` authority is rechecked after lock acquisition; foreign account IDs return 404. Returns 200 with the actual `deleted` count, including zero. No per-Live `If-Match` is used. Concurrent creation serializes on the same account lock; session shutdown follows committed deletion. `Idempotency-Key` is unsupported. Inspect the collection after an ambiguous response instead of blindly retrying, since a later retry could delete newly created Lives.

**Required scopes:** `live.delete`. Scopes intersect current authority; browser cookies never authenticate REST.

Reference: https://docs.bibleit.dev/api-reference/personal-accounts/delete-personal-lives

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Personal bearer credential issued through existing account settings or browser-approved CLI flow. Must be active, finite, unexpired, unrevoked, within any rotation overlap, and bound to an active personal membership/user/account. Explicit scopes intersect current user permissions; empty existing personal scopes inherit current user authority. Not an OAuth grant or service token. Browser cookies are ignored.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `account_id` (string, required)

## Response

### 200

Successful operation

- `deleted` (integer, required)
