Use this endpoint to delete the organization with the given ID. You **cannot delete** the first organization that was created with the CertCentral account.

- **What happens when I delete an organization?**
  Deleting an organization permanently removes the organization and its domains from your CertCentral account.
- **Can I delete an organization included on an order?**
  No, you cannot delete an organization included on an order, pending, canceled, active, revoked, or expired.
  To delete an organization included on a pending order, you must reject the order or edit the pending order and use a different organization. However, if that organization is on another order, you cannot delete it.
