​
Error Responses

​
401 Unauthorized
Returned when the request is made without a valid JWT token or the token has expired
​
404 Not Found
Returned when:
  • The support request with the specified ID does not exist
  • The support request belongs to a different user (ownership check)
  • The support request has already been soft deleted

​
Behavior

  • The endpoint uses soft deletion, meaning the record is marked as deleted but not removed from the database
  • The deleted_at timestamp is set to the current time when a support request is deleted
  • Soft-deleted support requests will not appear in list queries
  • Users can only delete support requests they created
  • If a user attempts to delete another user’s support request, a 404 Not Found error is returned (not 403 Forbidden) for security reasons

​
Notes

  • This endpoint uses Laravel’s soft delete feature via the SoftDeletes trait
  • Deleted support requests can potentially be restored by administrators with direct database access
  • The ownership check ensures users can only delete their own support requests
  • Laravel’s route model binding is used for automatic model retrieval
