To permanently remove a device and all its related information from the inventory, use the DELETE method to permanently remove a specific device, along with its associated data, from the system by providing the device's unique identifier.

Python Example

import requests
# Enter your hostname (for example: myserver.com or 127.0.0.1) 
hostname = 'enterHostname'

# Enter a deviceID between the quotes.
deviceID = 'enterDeviceID'

# Set the base URL
url = 'https://'+hostname+'/ot-base.example.com/api/v1/devices/'+ deviceID

# Set the authentication credentials
auth = ('', '')

# Send the DELETE request
response = requests.delete(url, auth=auth)

# Check the response status code
if response.status_code == 204:
    print('Device', deviceID, 'successfully deleted.')
else:
    print('Error deleting device:', response.text)
