How to delete pads in etherpad-lite

Question

Is it possible? How? I only can create or edit created. I am using my own server. I would like to admin or at least delete some pads.

Answer 1

if you are still expecting an answer: via the provided api. you need the api key (e.g. /var/etherpad-lite/APIKEY.txt) and the id of the pad you want to delete (e.g. mypad). then you send a simple http request to
