### JavaScript — OAuth application

  },
})

```

## Response

On successful deletion the API returns HTTP status `204 No Content` with an empty body — success is checked by the status.

## Response example

```http
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
```

## Error response example

422 — the section cannot be deleted or does not exist:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "BITRIX_ERROR",
    "message": "Access Denied"
  }
}
```

## Errors

| HTTP | Code | Description |
|------|-----|----------|
| 422 | `BITRIX_ERROR` | No section with the given `id`, or Bitrix24 refused the deletion — response `Access Denied` |
| 403 | `SCOPE_DENIED` | The key lacks the `catalog` scope |
| 401 | `MISSING_API_KEY` | `X-Api-Key` was not provided |
