# Clear service source

`DELETE https://api.instacloud.com/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/source`

**Token scope:** `account` · `org` · `project` — read-only tokens refused (not a GET).

Disconnect the repository (admin+). The service keeps running its current image; only future deploys stop.

## Parameters

| `projectId` | path | `string` | yes |  |
| `serviceId` | path | `string` | yes |  |

## Response 200

Default Response

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `ok` | `boolean` | yes |  |
| `source` | `object` | yes | Where a compute service’s running image comes from: an image somebody deployed (type=image, the absence of a connected source) or a connected repository (type=github). |
| `source.type` | `"image" \| "github"` | yes |  |
| `source.image` | `string \| null` | no | type=image — the image the service runs; null when nothing has been deployed yet |
| `source.id` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.owner` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.repo` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.branch` | `string` | no | the repo branch this service tracks; defaults to the repo’s default branch |
| `source.root_dir` | `string \| null` | no | subdirectory to build from (monorepo); null = repo root. Also decides which pushes deploy this service: the build context is this directory, so a push that changed nothing under it is skipped |
| `source.watch_paths` | `string[] \| null` | no | include list of gitignore patterns, matched against paths relative to the repository root (not to root_dir); a push deploys this service only when it changed a matching path. null/absent falls back to the root-directory rule: a service with root_dir deploys when a push changed something under it, one building from the repo root deploys on every push |
| `source.auto_deploy` | `boolean` | no | a push to `branch` rebuilds and redeploys; always false for a public repo (no App, no webhooks) |
| `source.public` | `boolean` | no | connected as a public repo, without a GitHub App installation |
| `source.installation_id` | `string \| null` | no |  |
| `source.repo_id` | `string \| null` | no | GitHub repository id (bigint as string) |
| `source.build_command` | `string \| null` | no | custom build command for source builds without a Dockerfile; null uses automatic detection |
| `source.start_command` | `string \| null` | no |  |
| `source.created_at` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.updated_at` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.last_build` | `object \| null` | no | the newest build of this service (null before the first) |
| `source.last_build.id` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.source_id` | `string \| null` | no | the service source that queued it; null once that source was disconnected |
| `source.last_build.project_id` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.service_id` | `string \| null` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.branch_id` | `string \| null` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.commit_sha` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.status` | `"queued" \| "fetching" \| "building" \| "deploying" \| "live" \| "failed"` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.image_ref` | `string \| null` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.error` | `string \| null` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.created_at` | `string` | no |  |
| `source.last_build.updated_at` | `string` | no |  |
