To delete an ACL resource (see [[#ar-wac]]), an `acl:agent` MUST have `acl:Control` privileges per the ACL inheritance algorithm on the resource directly associated with it.

A container can only be deleted if it contains no resources ([[#resource-containment]]). When a `DELETE` method request is made to a container, the server MUST delete the contained resources except containers. To recursively delete a container, server MUST accept client's `DELETE` request including the HTTP `Prefer` header with `return="representation"; include="http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#PreferContainment"` (see [[!LDP]]'s Preferences on the Prefer Request Header). Server MUST respond with the `409` status code and response body including containment triples about unaffected resources of the delete request for agents with `acl:Read` privilege per the ACL inheritance algorithm.

Server MAY omit the `DELETE` method in the HTTP response header `Allow` in response to safe method requests to a container, if `acl:agent` does not have the `acl:Write` privilege to a resource under its URI path.

When a `DELETE` method request is made to a container, the server MUST delete the container if it contains no resources. If the container contains resources, the server MUST respond with the `409` status code and response body describing the error.
