# Delete (archive) a saved document.

> Soft-archive a saved document — it leaves the Files view but is recoverable server-side.
Presence-aware: if the document is currently open in ANOTHER session and `force` is not set,
the request FAILS honestly with HTTP 409 (`code:"document_in_use"` + `open_in_sessions:N` +
`suggested_action`) so callers can confirm "open in N other session(s) — delete anyway?" and
re-call with `force=true`. On `force=true` it archives, unlinks every session, and notifies the
other sessions (which then prompt the user to keep editing or honor the deletion).

A no-op never wears a success status: if nothing was archived you get the 409 above, so a
2xx always means the archive actually happened.
