DELETE operations on an object are used to permanently remove an object from the storage system (data and metadata).
Deleting an object is processed immediately at the time of the request. Any subsequent GET, HEAD, POST, or DELETE operations will return a 404 (Not Found) error.
Objects with the X-Delete-At or X-Delete-After header
assigned are deleted within one day of the expiration time
and the object is not served immediately after the
expiration time. Refer to Expiring Objects for more details.

Host: storage.clouddrive.com
X-Auth-Token: eaaafd18-0fed-4b3a-81b4-663c99ec1cbb
No response body is returned. A status code of 204 (No Content) indicates success; status code 404 (Not Found) is returned when the object does not exist.
