lightning-delpay -- Command for removing a completed or failed payment
============================================================

SYNOPSIS
--------

**delpay** *payment\_hash* *status*

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

The **delpay** RPC command deletes a payment with the given `payment_hash` if its status is either `complete` or `failed`. Deleting a `pending` payment is an error.

- *payment\_hash*: The unique identifier of a payment.
- *status*: Expected status of the payment. 
Only deletes if the payment status matches.

EXAMPLE JSON REQUEST
------------
```json
{
  "id": 82,
  "method": "delpay",
  "params": {
    "payment_hash": "4fa2f1b001067ec06d7f95b8695b8acd9ef04c1b4d1110e3b94e1fa0687bb1e0",
    "status": "complete"
  }
}
```

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

The returned format is the same as lightning-listsendpays(7).  If the
payment is a multi-part payment (MPP) the command return a list of
payments will be returned -- one payment object for each partid.

On success, an object containing **payments** is returned.  It is an array of objects, where each object contains:
- **id** (u64): unique ID for this payment attempt
- **payment_hash** (hex): the hash of the *payment_preimage* which will prove payment (always 64 characters)
- **status** (string): status of the payment (one of "pending", "failed", "complete")
- **amount_sent_msat** (msat): the amount we actually sent, including fees
- **created_at** (u64): the UNIX timestamp showing when this payment was initiated
- **partid** (u64, optional): unique ID within this (multi-part) payment
- **destination** (pubkey, optional): the final destination of the payment if known
- **amount_msat** (msat, optional): the amount the destination received, if known
- **groupid** (u64, optional): Grouping key to disambiguate multiple attempts to pay an invoice or the same payment_hash
- **payment_preimage** (hex, optional): proof of payment (always 64 characters)
- **label** (string, optional): the label, if given to sendpay
- **bolt11** (string, optional): the bolt11 string (if pay supplied one)
- **bolt12** (string, optional): the bolt12 string (if supplied for pay: **experimental-offers** only).
- **erroronion** (hex, optional): the error onion returned on failure, if any.

[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-END)

On failure, an error is returned. If the lightning process fails before responding, the
caller should use lightning-listsentpays(7) or lightning-listpays(7) to query whether this payment was deleted or not.

The following error codes may occur:

- -32602: Parameter missed or malformed;
- 211: Payment status mismatch. Check the correct status via **paystatus**;
- 208: Payment with payment\_hash not found.
