Delete Entity
Delete an entity from a tenant.
This operation deletes an entity from a tenant.
CAUTION:
When you delete an entity that was previously merged, whether it was the winner or the loser, Reltio deletes the entire consolidated entity, including all contributors. This happens because, after a merge, both the winner and loser URIs point to the same underlying object.
To avoid unintended data loss when you want to delete a specific loser entity from the consolidate profile, always unmerge the entity before deleting it.
Request
DELETE {TenantURL}/{entity object URI}| Parameter | Required | Details | |

| Headers |
Authorization
| Yes | Information about authentication access token in format "Bearer
<accessToken>" (see details in Authentication API). |
Note: The URIs of deleted entities or relations are never reused. For attributes, these URIs
are unique within the object that contains the attributes. Although theoretically, it is
possible to have attributes with the same URI in different objects, the URIs of
attributes are also unique within the environment.
