Deletes a single Entity (normally a user).

This API persists a deletion event for the particular profile provided. This operation is asynchronous; it will take some time for the profile to be removed from downstream databases and indexes. This request returns a "request_id" which may be used to determine the status of that deletion. While the profile may become unavailable quickly, it may take a while for the full process to complete since it includes all archived historic data.

# Delete user whose "user_id" = "userdeleteme12"
# user_id can be any by-field

curl -s -H "Authorization: $LIOKEY" \
  -XDELETE "https://api.lytics.io/api/entity/user/user_id/userdeleteme12" | jq '.'
