Delete Note
delete_noteDestructiveIdempotent
Permanently delete one note by path; the deletion syncs to all connected Obsidian devices. Deleting a path that holds no note succeeds and reports deleted: false. To remove a whole folder use delete_folder. To move a note instead use rename_note. For an image, PDF, or other binary file use delete_attachment.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | Path of the note to delete | |
| vault_id | No | Target vault: its name (e.g. "Engram") or its UUID. REQUIRED when you own more than one vault; the server keeps no active-vault state between calls, so it must be passed on every vault-scoped call. Omit only if you have a single vault. Call list_vaults if a name does not resolve. |
