Delete an invoice. Only invoices in `draft` status can be deleted.

Deleting an invoice indicates it was created by mistake and should be completely disregarded.
Deleted invoices are hidden from list results by default, but can still be retrieved
individually through the get invoice endpoint. If you need to void an invoice that was
already sent or is otherwise part of the invoice history, cancel it instead by updating
its status to `canceled`.

To access this endpoint using an [access token](https://docs.moov.io/api/authentication/access-tokens/)
you'll need to specify the `/accounts/{accountID}/invoices.write` scope.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `X-Moov-Version` | header | string |  | Set this header to v2026.10.00 to use the API described in this specification. When omitted, the server defaults to v2024.01.00, the earliest supported version, which may not match the behavior documented here. An unrecognized well-formed version uses the latest supported version that is not newer than the requested version, when one exists. For example, `v2026.08.00` uses `v2026.07.00`. A malformed value, such as `2022`, returns a `404` response. Values: `v2026.10.00`. |
| `accountID` | path | string | Yes |  |
| `invoiceID` | path | string | Yes |  |

## Response 204

The request completed successfully, but there is no content to return.
