### Overview

Delete resources from a batch migration. The request is all-or-nothing: it returns `404 Not Found` if any resource does not exist, and `409 Conflict` if any resource is `in_progress` or `publishing`. In both cases nothing is deleted. Duplicate resource IDs are ignored. Detection rules already published from the deleted resources are not deleted. This endpoint requires the `security_monitoring_rules_write` permission.

OAuth apps require the `security_monitoring_rules_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#security-monitoring) to access this endpoint.
