Deleting Assets

You can delete one or multiple assets via the following requests.

If you delete a dataset that has DSEs linked to it, those DSEs will be removed as well.

If you do not want to delete an asset but still want to hide it for users while you are still working on the documentation, you can take a look at discovery policies in combination withAutomations.
