## Behavior

* **Creator Only**: Only the feedback creator can delete it
* **Permanent**: Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone
* **Cascade**: Deletes associated comments and votes
* **Notifications**: Subscribers are notified of deletion

## Use Cases

* **Remove Feedback**: Allow users to delete their submissions
* **Duplicate Removal**: Delete duplicate feedback items
* **Privacy**: Remove feedback that contains sensitive information

## Error Responses

```json 403 Forbidden theme={null}
{
  "error": "You do not have permission to delete this feedback",
  "statusCode": 403
}
```

```json 404 Not Found theme={null}
{
  "error": "Feedback not found",
  "statusCode": 404
}
```

## Notes

* Requires valid subscriber JWT token
* Only the creator can delete (checked via subscriber ID)
* Returns 403 if user is not the creator
* Returns 404 if feedback doesn't exist
* Deletion is permanent - associated comments and votes are also removed
* Triggers webhook events if configured
