### Overview

Delete a Product Analytics user profile.
Deletion is asynchronous: the request is accepted and the profile is removed shortly after, usually within a few minutes.
This only deletes the user profile. To delete the RUM events of the user, use the RUM data deletion API.

This endpoint requires the `rum_apps_write` permission.
