# Delete Content

Moves a piece of content to the space's trash or purges it from the trash,
depending on the content's type and status:

* If the content's type is `page` or `blogpost` and its status is `current`,
  it will be trashed.
* If the content's type is `page` or `blogpost` and its status is `trashed`,
  the content will be purged from the trash and deleted permanently. Note,
  you must also set the `status` query parameter to `trashed` in your request.
* If the content's type is `comment` or `attachment`, it will be deleted
  permanently without being trashed.

**[Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/_AozKw) required**:
'Delete' permission for the space that the content is in, and permission to edit the content.
