# DELETE /api/v1/apps/backups

> Delete one application backup (held for confirmation)

- Group: applications
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:hosting
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/applications/delete-app-backup

## Description

Verifies the backup exists on the account, then returns `{status:"confirmation_required", confirmationUrl, …}` — nothing is deleted on this call. The install itself is untouched.

## Query parameters

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response.
- `attempt_key` — string. Idempotency key for this intent. Keep it stable across retries so a timed-out retry cannot buy the same thing twice.

## Request

```bash
curl -X DELETE "https://mcp.inleed.com/api/v1/apps/backups" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer inl_live_…"
```
