============================================================

SYNOPSIS
--------

**delpay** *payment\_hash* *status*

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The **delpay** RPC command deletes a payment with the given `payment_hash` if its status is either `complete` or `failed`. Deleting a `pending` payment is an error.

- *payment\_hash*: The unique identifier of a payment.

Only deletes if the payment status matches.

------------
