DELETE /writers/{writer}

Delete writer

Permanently delete a writer from your catalog. This action cannot be undone.

A writer that is credited on a track or an artist cannot be deleted on its own — that call returns 422 with error_code: WRITER_IN_USE. Pass replace_with to move those credits to another writer in your catalog and delete this one in the same call.

A 422 carrying error_code: REPLACEMENT_UNAVAILABLE means the writer named by replace_with was no longer available to take the credits. Nothing was deleted and no credit was moved — name another writer and try again.
