# `bird amb business-accounts delete`

## Usage

```bash
bird amb business-accounts delete <business-account-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Stops new and queued sends while retaining the account, Apple UUID, approval, credentials and history. Repeated disconnects succeed without changing history. An already-started send attempt may finish; provider requests cannot be recalled. This is a local Bird connection change, not Apple deregistration.

This is destructive and cannot be undone; pass --yes to confirm.

## Examples

```bash
bird amb business-accounts delete <id> --yes
```

| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `--idempotency-key` | Deduplication key; a retry with the same key won't act twice |
| `--yes`             | Confirm the action (required; the CLI never prompts)         |
