Example: Delete source

In this example, a source entity is deleted. The host is a single node and the data is the Dremio sample source data.

In this case, there were two duplicate sources: Samples and Samples (1). This example deletes the Samples (1) source. The ID, a24cf314-6305-49cf-9b4e-f7da55f8044d, was obtained from the results of GET /source.

Postman is used to generate the examples.
