# `bird voice verified-numbers delete`

## Usage

```bash
bird voice verified-numbers delete <verified-number-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Permanently delete a verified number by ID. After deletion the number can no longer be presented as the outbound caller ID and must be re-registered and verified to use it again. Deleting a pending registration and creating it again is how an expired or exhausted verification challenge is replaced.

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

## Examples

```bash
bird voice verified-numbers delete <id> --yes
```
