# Destroy a screen

> Stop a screen and everything running on it.

Stops the screen's X server, its window manager, and every window on it. This
is not recoverable.

<Warning>
  The boot screen (`default`) cannot be destroyed. A computer with no screen is
  a computer nobody can see, so the request is refused with `400`.
</Warning>

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Computer ID (UUID).
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="screenId" type="string" required>
  Screen ID. Must not be `default`.
</ParamField>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE https://www.orgo.ai/api/computers/$COMPUTER_ID/screens/screen-1 \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORGO_API_KEY"
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json 200 theme={null}
  { "success": true }
  ```

  ```json 400 theme={null}
  { "error": "the default screen cannot be destroyed" }
  ```
</ResponseExample>
