# `bird audiences delete`

## Usage

```bash
bird audiences delete <audience-id> [flags]
```

## Description

Delete an audience and its memberships; contacts themselves are not deleted. Fails while a broadcast targeting the audience is scheduled, accepted, sending, or canceling.

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

## Examples

```bash
bird audiences delete <id> --yes
```
