lightning-delinvoice -- Command for removing an invoice (or just its description)
=================================================================================

SYNOPSIS
--------

**delinvoice** *label* *status* [*desconly*]

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The **delinvoice** RPC command removes an invoice with *status* as given
in **listinvoices**, or with *desconly* set, removes its description.

The caller should be particularly aware of the error case caused by the
*status* changing just before this command is invoked!

If *desconly* is set, the invoice is not deleted, but has its
description removed (this can save space with very large descriptions,
as would be used with lightning-invoice(7) *deschashonly*.

RETURN VALUE
------------

Note: The return is the same as an object from lightning-listinvoice(7).

[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START)
On success, an object is returned, containing:

- **label** (string): Unique label given at creation time
- **payment_hash** (hash): the hash of the *payment_preimage* which will prove payment (always 64 characters)
- **status** (string): State of invoice (one of "paid", "expired", "unpaid")
- **expires_at** (u64): UNIX timestamp when invoice expires (or expired)
- **bolt11** (string, optional): BOLT11 string
- **bolt12** (string, optional): BOLT12 string
- **amount_msat** (msat, optional): the amount required to pay this invoice
- **description** (string, optional): description used in the invoice

If **bolt12** is present:

  - **local_offer_id** (hex, optional): offer for which this invoice was created
  - **payer_note** (string, optional): the optional *payer_note* from invoice_request which created this invoice

If **status** is "paid":

  - **pay_index** (u64): unique index for this invoice payment
  - **amount_received_msat** (msat): how much was actually received
  - **paid_at** (u64): UNIX timestamp of when payment was received
  - **payment_preimage** (secret): SHA256 of this is the *payment_hash* offered in the invoice (always 64 characters)

ERRORS
------

The following errors may be reported:

- -1:  Database error.
- 905:  An invoice with that label does not exist.
- 906:  The invoice *status* does not match the parameter.
  An error object will be returned as error *data*, containing
  *current_status* and *expected_status* fields.
  This is most likely due to the *status* of the invoice
  changing just before this command is invoked.
- 908: The invoice already has no description, and *desconly* was set.
