# Method name: deleteDraftPost(draftPostId: string, options: DeleteDraftPostOptions)

# Method package: wixBlogBackend

# Method menu location: wixBlogBackend --> draftPosts --> deleteDraftPost

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-blog-backend/draft-posts/delete-draft-post.md

# Method Description:

Moves a draft post with the provided ID to the trash bin.
A published post can also be deleted by its provided `draftPostId`.

The optional `permanent` field enables you to delete a post permanently, bypassing the trash bin. When a draft post is deleted this way, it can't be restored.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Delete a draft post (export from backend code) 

```javascript
import { draftPosts } from 'wix-blog-backend';
import { webMethod, Permissions } from 'wix-web-module';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';

// Sample draftPostId value: "2b36fbd0-f87a-43ce-ad11-e73d354b0072"

const elevatedDeleteDraftPost = elevate(draftPosts.deleteDraftPost);

export const myDeleteDraftPostFunction = webMethod(
  Permissions.Admin,
  async (draftPostId) => {
    try {
      await elevatedDeleteDraftPost(draftPostId);
      console.log('Successfully deleted the following draft post:', draftPostId);
      return;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      // Handle the error
    }
  }
);

// Promise returns void
```

## Delete a draft post using options (export from backend code) 

```javascript
import { draftPosts } from 'wix-blog-backend';
import { webMethod, Permissions } from 'wix-web-module';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';

/*

 * 
 * Sample options value: 
 *  {
 *    permanent: true
 *  }
 */
const elevatedDeleteDraftPost = elevate(draftPosts.deleteDraftPost);

export const myDeleteDraftPostFunction = webMethod(
  Permissions.Admin,
  async (draftPostId, options) => {
    try {
      await elevatedDeleteDraftPost(draftPostId, options);
      console.log('Permanently deleted the following draft post:', draftPostId);
      return;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      // Handle the error
    }
  }
);

// Promise returns void
```
