# Delete Employee

### Liquidity Pool

<mark style="color:red;">`DELETE`</mark> <https://sandbox.triangle.digital/api/v2/liquidity\\_pool/clients/{client\\_id}/employees/{employee\\_id}>

Deletes one employee of the client. The deletion is refused while anything is still attached to the employee, and the `message` says what has to be cleared first:

* a Stripe card — remove it with [Delete Credit Card](/tri-doc/liquidity-pool/delete-credit-card.md);
* a MasterCard card — remove it with [Delete MasterCard Card](/tri-doc/liquidity-pool/delete-mastercard-card.md);
* invoices — delete them, or move them to another employee with [Edit Invoice](/tri-doc/liquidity-pool/edit-invoice.md);
* a positive Carbon Pool balance — spend it;
* a balance operation still in progress — wait for it to finish.

An Individual Consumption cannot be deleted here or anywhere else: it lives in the same table but is addressed by its own uuid, and this call answers `Employee not found for this client.` for one.

Nothing was deleted. The `message` says what exactly: `Employee not found for this client.` — the employee is unknown, belongs to another client, or is an Individual Consumption; `Cannot delete: a credit card is attached. Remove the card first.`; `Cannot delete: a MasterCard card is attached. Remove the card first.`; `Cannot delete: the employee has invoices attached.`; `Cannot delete: the employee has a positive Carbon Pool balance.`; `Cannot delete: a Carbon Pool balance operation is in progress for this employee.`

```json

    "message": "Cannot delete: the employee has invoices attached.",
    "success": false,
