Delete a sandbox. Function blocks that still select it fail closed at run time until they are re-pointed. Where the deployment prebuilds dependency images, the sandbox's image is released once nothing else shares it; a runtime-install deployment, or a spec with nothing to install, had no image and nothing is released. Requires a workspace admin on a Max or Enterprise plan; a lower plan is refused with 403 and error.details.code WORKSPACE_PLAN_CAPABILITY_REQUIRED. A workspace API key is rejected with 403; use a personal API key.
/api/v2/sandboxes/{sandboxId}Authorization
apiKey Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.
