Delete an invoice

Delete an invoice. Only invoices in draft status can be deleted.

Deleting an invoice indicates it was created by mistake and should be completely disregarded. Deleted invoices are hidden from list results by default, but can still be retrieved individually through the get invoice endpoint. If you need to void an invoice that was already sent or is otherwise part of the invoice history, cancel it instead by updating its status to canceled.

To access this endpoint using an access token you'll need to specify the /accounts/{accountID}/invoices.write scope.
