# Delete Brand Facts

> Permanently deletes 1-50 brand facts from a website's Knowledge Base. There is no undo. Ids with no fact on the website are reported in not_found_ids instead of failing the call, so retries are idempotent. Requires a website-admin API key; on OAuth MCP connections the signed-in user must hold the admin role. Also available as the MCP tool `delete_brand_facts`.
