  --data '{
      "mode": "wipe"
  }'
ParameterRequiredDescription
modeNoThe default value for this parameter is wipe. Using wipe will delete the content of the alert group but keep the metadata, which is helpful if you’ve sent sensitive information to OnCall. On the other hand, passing delete will fully erase the alert group and its metadata, as well as delete related messages in Slack and other platforms.

NOTE: DELETE can take a few moments to delete alert groups because Grafana OnCall interacts with 3rd party APIs such as Slack. Please check objects using GET to be sure the data is removed.
