Erase a resource

POST

/api/admin/resources/erasure

Maintainer:Not configured

OperationId:admin_erase_resource

Executes the erasure act for a resource, optionally striking related blobs named by the survey. The server mints the request reference. The answer is either a completion or a recorded refusal (status). Requires a system admin. Any other caller gets 404, decided before any lookup, so a refusal reveals nothing about the resource.
