Purge Biometric Template
DELETE /v3/biometric-templates// — purge one retained face biometric template: removed from matching, stored template deleted. Idempotent.
DELETE
curl
Purges one template: it is removed from every kind of matching and the stored template is deleted. The purge is irreversible and is recorded on the audit trail with the acting principal.
Retry semantics
Didit deletes the stored template first and only then marks the template purged. If a biometric store is unavailable the call returns503, the template moves to status: purge_failed, and it is already excluded from matching. Repeat the same call to finish the purge.
Errors
Other purge points
Templates are also purged when you delete the owning User with Batch Delete Users, when you delete any session of that User withdeletion_instruction: "privacy_erasure", and automatically at expires_at. See Purge points.Authorizations
