Archive 1.x:Dataset: Delete/1.1

The Dataset: Delete Web service is used to delete an existing dataset in a WSF (Web Services Framework). When a dataset gets deleted, all of the information archived in it is deleted as well. There is no way to recover any data once this query is issued.

Developers communicate with the Dataset: Delete Web service using the HTTP GET method. You may request any content type (*/*). '''No content is returned by the Web service endpoint if the endpoint successfully executed the query. Only a "200 OK" message will be returned in the header.'''
