Delete a single asset, or bulk-delete every asset on your account. Deleting an asset removes it from any products and orders it was attached to — past customers lose access to anything they hadn’t already downloaded. Use carefully.

}Notes
- Returns 202 Accepted — deletion is queued and processed asynchronously. The asset is removed from listings immediately, but storage cleanup happens in the background.
- Single delete:
DELETE /api/v1/assets/{asset}. - Bulk delete (everything):
POST /api/v1/assets/deleted-all— destructive, no confirmation. Use only when you’re sure. - Past customers lose access to deleted assets the next time they try to download. Their existing local copies are unaffected.
Common errors
- 404 — asset doesn’t exist on your account.
