IIS / .Net 6 / AspNetCoreV2 / 405 Method Not Allowed

I am developing a REST API using Web API with .Net 6. My server is Windows 2012 R2 / IIS 8.
GET, POST, and PUT work without issue. When attempting DELETE, I get a 405 Method Not Allowed. I did failed request tracing and can confirm the issue is happening with the AspNetCoreModuleV2.
After doing a lot of searching and trying possible solutions: WebDAV is not installed on the system. I have tried selecting "All verbs" and as well as adding each individual verb in the Handler Mapping section.
Any other suggestions on getting DELETE to work?

    If you don't need to use WebDAV, then the easiest and the best way to fix "405 method not allowed" issue is to remove WebDAV from your system. You can easily get this done in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" simply un-ticking the checkbox.
