Deletes a connection. It fails while connected accounts or Virtual MCP servers still use the connection. Delete its connected accounts first with [Delete a connected account](/agentkit/reference/connected-accounts/delete-a-connected-account/), and remove it from each server with [Update a Virtual MCP server](/agentkit/reference/virtual-mcp-servers/update-a-virtual-mcp-server/).

## Other responses

- `404`: Not found - no connection with this ID. Error code `RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`.
