Delete Locale

Permanently removes a locale, subject to the guards below.

Operation

Operation	Type	Purpose
deleteAdminSettingsLocale	Mutation	Delete a locale by id

Guards

The delete is refused (returns an errors[] entry, no record removed) when:

• It is the only remaining locale in the store.
• The locale is set as the default locale of one or more channels. For example: "This locale is the default locale of one or more channels and cannot be deleted." Re-point the channel(s) to another default locale first.

Notes

• The returned node is an in-memory snapshot of the just-deleted record — its scalar fields (_id, code, name, direction) still resolve so you can confirm what was removed.
• Select message for the success confirmation — it resolves to "Locale deleted successfully." on a successful delete. message is null on read / list / create / update; a failed delete returns a top-level errors[] entry instead.
• Do not select the node's IRI id field on this mutation — the IRI cannot be generated for a deleted record and the field resolves with an errors[] entry. Select _id instead, as shown.
• Use the adminSettingsLocales query to discover valid ids.

Permissions: settings.locales.delete. See the Locales overview for behaviour.
