Overview

Cancels every persisted Trigger.dev run associated with this column (batched in groups of 50 via runs.cancel(), best-effort — individual failures are swallowed) and deletes the list_columns row. All list_cells / list_company_cells for the column are cascade-deleted. This is irreversible. Agents should confirm with the human before calling it on a column that contains user data.

​
AI agent notes

Idempotency. Deleting a column twice returns 404 on the second call. Cancellation of already-completed runs is a no-op.Run cancellation is best-effort. If a background task is in the middle of writing a cell, the cell write may still succeed before the task observes cancellation. Orphan cells are cleaned up by the cascade delete regardless.Before calling this endpoint on user data, either:
  1. Confirm with the human, or
  2. Export the column values first via the relevant list export endpoint.
Use POST /api/lists/{id}/columns/cleanup-previews instead if you only want to sweep orphan preview columns.
