Deleting an Entity Using REST

[This document supports a preliminary release of a software product that may be changed substantially prior to final commercial release. This document is provided for informational purposes only.]

To delete a resource by using the REST interface, you must provide the full URI of the resource (entity in this case) to delete. To delete an entity, you send an HTTP request to the service using the DELETE method on that request. After completing operation, the service returns a response with an HTTP status that indicates whether the operation succeeded or failed.

The following topics provide code examples that delete an entity:
