# Cancel an organization's deletion

`POST /v1/organizations/{org_id}:cancel-deletion` · permission `organizations:write`

Cancels a self-service deletion requested by an organization administrator before `deletion_due_at`; the organization becomes `active` again. For an organization that is not waiting for deletion nothing changes. An `organization.deletion_cancelled` event is published.

## Request

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `org_id` | path | yes | Organization ID (`org_…`). |
| `Idempotency-Key` | header | no | Optional. 16-64 characters `[A-Za-z0-9_-]`; repeating the same key with the same request returns the same response. |

No request body.

## Response

`200 OK` with the organization and its `ETag`.
