A wallet is a container of custodial blockchain accounts, and its only field is that account list — each account carrying a name, an address, a chain type, and the ENCRYPTED private key with its salt. Creating a wallet through this table generates NO KEYS: key generation lives on the account routes, so a wallet made here is an empty shell and an account posted into one is stored exactly as sent, with no key generation and no validation behind it. Know what a read renders: the plaintext private key is never marshalled and never stored, but the encrypted blob and its salt ARE returned, so whoever can read a wallet can attack it offline down to the strength of the owner's passphrase. That is why this kind is admin-gated. Removes the addressed row and answers 204 with no body. Before the live row goes it is written once more under a deleted tombstone kind, so a deletion leaves a recoverable copy rather than destroying the record outright — and a tombstone that cannot be written fails the call with 500 before anything is removed. The id is resolved inside the caller org's own namespace, so an absent or foreign id is 404. The token must carry the ADMIN permission; an ordinary access token is refused. The per-kind permission table has no entry for wallet, so the scaffold skips that second check with a warning and the gate above is the whole authorization story.

## Request

1 field.

| Field      | In   | Type   | Required | Description |
| ---------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `walletid` | path | string | yes      |             |

## Response

The document declares no response body for this operation. It answers `200` on success and the platform error shape on failure — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo commerce wallet rm <walletid>
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, CommerceApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new CommerceApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.deleteCommerceWalletByWalletid({ walletid: 'walletid' });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import CommerceApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = CommerceApi(client).delete_commerce_wallet_by_walletid(walletid='walletid')
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.CommerceAPI.DeleteCommerceWalletByWalletid(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, commerce_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = commerce_api::delete_commerce_wallet_by_walletid(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.CommerceApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new CommerceApi(client).deleteCommerceWalletByWalletid();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X DELETE https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/commerce/wallet/<walletid> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY"
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **commerce** through the `commerce` tool, which names its 5 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_commerce_health"
         }
       }
     }'
```
