# DELETE /messaging/v1/email/seed-lists/{id}

Deletes a seed list from an account. The MID is used from authentication. Make sure that:

- The MID is activated for MCSeedList.
- The Principal has AppId associated with it to validate that a partner is calling in.
- The AppId is associated with the seed-list guid (one partner can't update the seed-list of another partner).

If a seed-list GUID exists, this method inactivates all seeds in it.
