The Delete Item operation (POST only) removes both the item and its link from the user's folder by default. This operation is available to the user and to the administrator of the organization to which the user belongs.
For ArcGIS Online organizations, the delete operation moves the item, if supported, to the recycle bin for 14 days before it is permanently deleted. Any unsupported items are permanently deleted. Learn more about permanently deleting and restoring items.
