Workflow
Request: the code to send to the API
Send a DELETE request to the resource /users/<user_token>.json to immediately delete an existing user.
The <user_token> has to be replaced by the unique token of an existing user. This operation cannot be undone.
To prevent you from unintentionally deleting a user by mixing up the DELETE/GET methods
you have to include the url parameter confirm_deletion=true in your DELETE requests.
If you omit this parameter, the user will not be deleted and an error will be thrown.
Result: the code returned by the API
If the user has been deleted successfully, the API will return a HTTP status code 200.
If the user could not be deleted, the API will return an appropriate message body with further details on the error that occured.
