# Delete referral

`DELETE https://api.nexus.gg/v1/referrals/{referralId}`

This is a soft delete: the referral is flagged `deleted` rather than removed. If the deleted referral had counted toward a bounty objective's current progress, that count is rolled back and the objective is reopened. Progress the bounty has already moved past is left alone.
