## Discussion

Discussion Each item in items requires a correlationId, unique within the batch, and a data object with the id of the negative keyword to delete. The API processes each deletion independently. When allowPartialSuccess: true is set in the request, this endpoint uses partial success semantics: if some items fail (for example, an already-deleted ID fails with ENTITY_NOT_FOUND), the API still processes the successful deletions. When omitted or false, any single item failure rejects the entire batch. The response includes a per-item result with each item’s correlationId and success status, with failed items reporting success: false. It doesn’t include the deleted negative keyword. Deleted negative keywords are marked deleted: true and no longer suppress those search terms for any ad groups or campaigns that referenced them. The query endpoint doesn’t return them and GET by ID returns 404. Payload Examples
