Deleting Device Data

To delete a device from the inventory, you can use the DELETE method with the devices endpoint. This will delete all the information related to that device from the database.

Note: This command only deletes the device's information. It will not change the device's status to decommissioned. To change the device's status, you should use a POST request to update the device's information.
