-# Deprecated: Shutdown room API
-
-**The old Shutdown room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
-See the new [Delete Room API](rooms.md#delete-room-api) for more details.**
-
-Shuts down a room, preventing new joins and moves local users and room aliases automatically
-to a new room. The new room will be created with the user specified by the
-`new_room_user_id` parameter as room administrator and will contain a message
-explaining what happened. Users invited to the new room will have power level
--10 by default, and thus be unable to speak. The old room's power levels will be changed to
-disallow any further invites or joins.
-
-The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
-the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
-
-## API
-
-You will need to authenticate with an access token for an admin user.
-
-### URL
-
-`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/shutdown_room/{room_id}`
-
-### URL Parameters
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room (e.g `!someroom:example.com`)
-
-### JSON Body Parameters
-
-* `new_room_user_id` - Required. A string representing the user ID of the user that will admin
-                       the new room that all users in the old room will be moved to.
-* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
-                invited to.
-* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
-              `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
-               original room was shut down.
-
-If not specified, the default value of `room_name` is "Content Violation
-Notification". The default value of `message` is "Sharing illegal content on
-othis server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked."
-
-### Response Parameters
-
-* `kicked_users` - An integer number representing the number of users that
-                   were kicked.
-* `failed_to_kick_users` - An integer number representing the number of users
-                           that were not kicked.
-* `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were migrated from
-                    the old room to the new.
-* `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room.

-## Undoing room shutdowns
-
-*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
-the structure can and does change without notice.
-
-First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown is not as simple as pretending it
-never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
-to recover at all:
-
-* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
-* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different server.
-
-With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
-
-1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
-2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
-   * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
-   * The room ID is the same one supplied to the shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
-3. Restart Synapse.
-
-You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
-
-* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
-* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
-* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
