I am trying to delete meetings with the API. I created a bunch of meetings with endpoint

`/crm/v3/objects/meetings`

and stored away the IDs. Now I need to delete them but I can’t get any of the examples to work.  
I also tried going to a company and clicking a meetings “Copy Link” to extract a sample id to delete.

`'https://app-eu1.hubspot.com/contacts/11111/company/111111/?engagement=123456789'`

```lia-code-sample
const id = '123456789'

const response = await hubspot().apiRequest({
 headers: {
 'Accept': 'application/json',
 },
 path: `/crm/v3/objects/meetings/${id}`,
 method: 'DELETE',
})

console.log(response) // 204 no content

```

Even though I get a successful response, the meeting is still there. My stored away ids does not seem to delete anything either. Maybe im confusing ids, is meetingId equivalent to a engagementId?  
It also seems it does not care if the thing to be deleted is actually deleted; I can put a non existing id like

111122223333344 and it will still give 204

Please help me with tips how to delete my list of ids. I am assuming I am missing something.

I finally solved it using axios

```lia-code-sample
 const response = await axios.post(
 `https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/meetings/batch/archive`,
 JSON.stringify({inputs: [{id: '123456789'}]}),
 {
 headers: {
 "accept": "application/json",
 "content-type": "application/json",
 "authorization": `Bearer ${env.HUBSPOT_PRIVATE_APP_TOKEN}` 
 },
 }
 )

```
