Delete an account

client.account.delete(stringid, AccountDeleteParams { body } params?, RequestOptionsoptions?): AccountDeleteResponse { id, createdAt, fields, 4 more }
DELETE/v1/accounts/{id}

Moves an account to the trash. The account is soft-deleted and may be restored from the Lightfield UI. Associated contacts, tasks, and notes are not deleted; manage their lifecycle via their own endpoints.

Calling delete on an already-trashed account is a no-op and returns the existing record.
