# `bird amb suppressions delete`

## Usage

```bash
bird amb suppressions delete <suppression-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Ends the suppression episode, so the handle can be messaged again. The episode itself is kept and stays readable by ID, recording when and how it ended. This does not delete history: dropping an episode from the list does not erase the record of when the handle was suppressed. An episode opened by a close also ends automatically when the same customer starts that conversation again, without any call to this endpoint; this endpoint can end an episode of any origin directly, at any time.

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

## Examples

```bash
bird amb suppressions delete <id> --yes
```
