Delete service is a WordPress ability from LatePoint — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Delete service
DestructivePermanently deletes a service and all of its associated bookings.
Requires the LatePoint plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WordPress Abilities API is only available from 6.9 onward). All abilities also require the site's 'latepoint_abilities_api' master toggle to be enabled; write abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_edit' setting, and destructive abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' setting. Each ability further requires the current user to hold the matching LatePoint capability (e.g. 'booking__view', 'customer__edit'), and some abilities also verify the user is allowed to act on that specific record.
What it does
This ability removes a service from LatePoint entirely, along with every booking tied to it, and the action cannot be undone. You supply the service ID to delete; if no matching service exists, a not-found error is returned instead of deleting anything. On success it confirms the deletion and returns the deleted service's ID.
