# DeleteDraftPost

# Namespace: DraftPostService

# Method link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/blog/draft-posts/delete-draft-post.md

## Permission Scopes:

## Introduction

Moves a draft post to the trash bin.
A published post can also be deleted by the `post.id`. See the [Posts API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/blog/posts-stats/post-object.md) for more information about posts.

To permanently delete a post bypassing the trash bin, set the `permanent` field value to `true`. The post can't be restored after this.
