Delete a token
Deleting a token marks a token as deleted, though it will remain in the ledger. The operation must be signed by the specified Admin Key of the Token. If the Admin Key is not set, the Transaction will result in TOKEN_IS_IMMUTABlE. Once deleted update, mint, burn, wipe, freeze, unfreeze, grant KYC, revoke KYC and token transfer transactions will resolve to TOKEN_WAS_DELETED.
NFTs
You cannot delete a specific NFT. You can delete the class of the NFT specified by the token ID after you have burned all associated NFTs associated with the token class
- Admin key
- Transaction fee payer account key
