# Delete a bulk media batch

> DELETE /media/bulk/{pk}/

Deletes a bulk media batch owned by this account, on the **Management API** host (`api.scanova.io`), authenticated with your raw Management API key.

```
DELETE https://api.scanova.io/media/bulk/{pk}/
Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a
```

<ParamField path="pk" type="integer" required>
  The batch's `id`.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE "https://api.scanova.io/media/bulk/12/" \
    -H "Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a"
  ```
</RequestExample>

A successful call returns `204 No Content`. `404` if `pk` isn't a batch owned by this account.

<Note>
  Deleting a batch doesn't delete the individual files uploaded into it — use [Delete a file](/api-reference/management-api/user-media/delete) or [Bulk-delete files by path](/api-reference/management-api/user-media/bulk-delete-by-path) to remove those separately.

    The complete Scanova Management API — every endpoint available at
    api.scanova.io (QR codes, folders, tags, leads, forms, analytics, plans,
    shared users & roles), plus the token-creation and usage-stats endpoints
    used to authenticate against it. Every path and request/response shape below
    was verified live against a real API key and the actual running backend
    (Phase 7, 2026-08-16) — not guessed from reading urls.py alone.

      description: >-
        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
        regular API host will not authenticate.
