DELETE /api/v1/public/traces/{traceId}
DELETE /api/v1/public/traces/{traceId}Delete public traces.
Operation ID: delete_api_v1_public_traces_traceId.
Authentication
Choose a credential. Each row is an accepted alternative; access also depends on current roles, project bindings, and entitlements.
| Credential | Carrier | OAuth scopes |
|---|---|---|
ServiceAccountBearerAuth | Authorization: Bearer | See credential policy |
OAuth2 | Authorization: Bearer | observability:write |
For OAuth and service-account credentials, send the selected project UUID in x-project-id, including when the header is optional for legacy keys.
Service-account tokens need the corresponding functional scopes listed for OAuth, as well as an active binding and role for the selected project.
Availability
This operation requires the tier-c-compute capability to be enabled for the deployment. Its presence in the contract does not guarantee availability. See operation availability.

Request example
Replace placeholder IDs and environment variables with values from your authorized project. Credentials are expanded into curl's stdin configuration, not its command arguments. Keep shell tracing off and do not log this configuration. For requests with a body, put a payload matching the schema in request-body.txt; form requests use URL-encoded content.
