## Response

On successful deletion, the API returns HTTP status `204 No Content` with an empty body. Success is indicated by the response code, not the content.

## Response example

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

## Error response example

400 — `elementId` is not a number:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_PARAMS",
    "message": "elementId must be a positive integer"
  }
}
```

| 403 | `BITRIX_ACCESS_DENIED` | No permission to delete this row |
| 403 | `WRITE_BLOCKED_READONLY_KEY` | The key is in read-only mode. Switch it to read and write in the `/keys` section |
