To soft delete tickets, use the [Bulk Delete Tickets](#bulk-delete-tickets) endpoint.\n\nThis endpoint accepts a comma-separated list of up to 100 ticket ids. It enqueues\na ticket deletion job and returns a payload with the jobs status.\n\nIf one ticket fails to be deleted, the endpoint still attempts to delete the others. If the job succeeds,\nthe tickets that were successfully deleted are permanently deleted. This operation can't be undone.\n\nThis endpoint returns a `job_status` [JSON object](/api-reference/ticketing/ticket-management/job_statuses/#json-format) and queues a background job to do the work.\nUse the [Show Job Status](/api-reference/ticketing/ticket-management/job_statuses/#show-job-status) endpoint to check for the job's completion.\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n* Agents"
