How to delete pads in etherpad-lite

Question

Is it possible? How? I only can create or edit created. I am using my own server. I would like to admin or at least delete some pads.

if you are still expecting an answer: via the provided api. you need the api key (e.g. /var/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt) and the id of the pad you want to delete (e.g. mypad). then you send a simple http request to

http://yourserver.org:9001/api/1/deletePad?apikey=yourkey&padID=mypad

this post is older than four years. maybe they changed something :) otherwise check the parameters you provided ;) – wolxXx May 22 '17 at 07:53
Make sure to check the spelling of `padID`. I ran into the same issue earlier and realised that I was using `padId`. – Shoan Nov 27 '18 at 14:59

The ep_adminpads plugin can be used to list and delete pads - it is installed by npm: see at npmjs or github or even from the /admin route inside the etherpad installation.
