Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/acme-dns/acme-dns/issues/177

It would be nice to have an API endpoint to delete subdomain records that are no longer required.

Example:
POST /delete

{
    "subdomain": "8e5700ea-a4bf-41c7-8a77-e990661dcc6a"
}

I personally prefer keeping the API as small as possible, and as the accounts take so very little storage space I see no urgent need for the endpoint. That said, I'm not strictly against this, and would probably accept a PR implementing the functionality.

I'd be happy to implement this, but it doesn't seem like there's much demand so I'll leave it for now.

I think this would be very useful, especially if you have a lot of certificates which do the validation via acme-dns. I'll implement this and create a pull request.

@webcompas but why would you delete them? Do people create lots of subdomains that they don't need long term?

Yes, at least in my case there are many testing systems which partially exist only for a short time. So we would like to keep the database clean from so many unused subdomains. As this isn't a big deal to implement I don't see a reason why this feature shouldn't be added.
