## Path Parameters

</ParamField>

## Errors

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion
    title="The API `<key/secret>
` provided is invalid."
  >
    **Code:** `4xx`

    The API key or secret are not entered or an invalid API key is used.

    **Solution:** Use and enter the correct API details while executing the API.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The id provided does not exist.">
    **Code:** `400`

    The invoice id entered is either invalid or does not belong to the requester account.

    **Solution:** Enter a valid invoice id.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Delete operation not allowed for item of type: {type}.">
    **Code:** `400`

    The item id passed belongs to a non-invoice item type (for example, `payment_page`). Only items of type `invoice` can be deleted through this endpoint.

    **Solution:** Confirm the item's type using the Fetch Item API. Only invoice-type items support deletion via `DELETE /v1/items/:id`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Cannot delete an item with which invoices have been created already.">
    **Code:** `400`

    The item has already been associated with one or more invoices. Razorpay does not allow deleting items that have a history of use, to preserve invoice integrity.

    **Solution:** Mark the item as inactive instead by calling `PATCH /v1/items/:id` with `active: false`. Inactive items remain available on past invoices but cannot be used on new ones.
