Responds with 200 OK on the successful deletion, but when removing a resource deleted earlier, responds with 204 No Content (conforming FHIR specification). This feature was added to make deletion work the same way as in SQL DELETE RETURNING *.
Supports If-Match header, with versionId as ETAG.
To get 204 No Content instead of 200 OK, use the _no-content=true query parameter.
200 OK - resource successfully deleted
204 No Content - resource already deleted
404 Not Found - resource not found
412 Precondition Failed - requested ETAG doesn't match actual
It's not clear how to perform an ordinary delete on no matches. That's why 404 Not Found will be returned in this case.
No matches: The respond with 404 Not Found
One Match: The server performs an ordinary delete on the matching resource
Multiple matches: Servers respond with 412 Precondition Failed error indicating the client's criteria were not selective enough
This interaction deletes a resource, responds with 200 OK on the successful deletion, but when removing an already deleted resource, it responds with 204 No Content.
To always get 204 No Content instead of 200 OK, use _no-content=true query parameter.
200 OK — resource successfully deleted
204 No Content — resource already deleted

Depending on the number of resources meeting the search criteria, different actions will be performed and response codes will be returned:

One Match: The server performs an ordinary delete on the matching resource
Multiple matches: Servers respond with 412 Precondition Failed error indicating the client's criteria were not selective enough
By default Aidbox refuses to delete resources when there is multiple matches. If you wish to delete all matching resources, set header
