3.4. Using DELETE to Delete Resources
This section describes how to use
DELETE requests to delete Satellite resources. Special permissions might be required for some DELETE requests; see Appendix A, API Permissions Matrix for information about API permissions.
3.4.1. Deleting a Resource
Delete a resource with a
DELETE request sent to its URI.
Include an Accept HTTP header to define the MIME type for the response format.
DELETE /api/collection/resource_id HTTP/1.1 Accept: MIME type
Some cases require optional body content in the
DELETE request to specify additional properties. A DELETE request with optional body content requires a Content-Type header to inform the API of the representation MIME type in the body content. If a DELETE request contains no body content, omit the Content-Type header.
