        Deletes the EHR identified by `ehr_id`. 

        All resources associated with or owned by the specified EHR (such as COMPOSITION, EHR_STATUS, ITEM_TAG, CONTRIBUTION, and their historical versions) will also be **permanently** and physically deleted, in compliance with applicable data protection regulations (e.g., the GDPR in the European Union).

        The server may execute this operation asynchronously (e.g. in batches), in which case returns status `202 Accepted`.
        If the deletion is processed synchronously and completes successfully, the server returns status `204 No Content`.

      description: |

        Deletes all or multiple EHRs, or a specified subset of EHRs identified using the `ehr_id` query parameter. 

        > NOTE: This functionality is intended primarily for **development** or **testing** purposes and may be disabled in **production** environments, in which case server may respond with `405 Method Not Allowed`.

        All resources associated with or owned by the targeted EHRs (such as COMPOSITION, EHR_STATUS, ITEM_TAG, CONTRIBUTION, and their historical versions) will also be **permanently** and physically deleted, in compliance with applicable data protection regulations (e.g., the GDPR in the European Union).

        The server may execute this operation asynchronously (e.g. in batches), in which case returns status `202 Accepted`.

  responses:
    '202':
      description: |
        `202 Accepted` is returned when the requested operation has been accepted for processing, 
        but processing has not been completed or may not have started (i.e. when requests are processed asynchronously). 
    '404':
      description: |
        `404 Not Found` is returned when, based on the request parameters, the server did not find a current representation of a target resource, or is not willing to disclose that one exists.
    '405':
      description: |
        `405 Method Not Allowed` is returned when the service knows the request method, but the target resource doesn't support this method (e.g. due to security concerns). 
    204_deleted_hard:
      description: |
        `204 No Content` is returned when the requested operation succeeded and the resource(s) identified by the request parameters has been physically deleted (i.e. hard-delete).
    404_unknown_ehr_id:
      description: |
        `404 Not Found` is returned when an EHR with `ehr_id` does not exist.
