Delete an Asset

Deletes our copy of the bytes and removes the Asset from the library. A reservation can be deleted too, before or after its bytes arrive, which is how one is abandoned deliberately rather than left for the daily sweep.

This does not remove it from any provider. Once registered, the bytes are in that ad account’s library and are no longer ours to withdraw — remainingRegistrations counts the Registrations the Asset still has. Say so to the user; letting them assume otherwise is worse than refusing.

DELETE/assets/{id}
Authorization
AuthorizationBearer token · headerrequired

Send Authorization: Bearer <credential>.

Use an API key (acr_…), from the AdCrunch console under Settings → API keys.

The credential names the organization, and no operation takes an organization parameter.

See https://docs.adcrunch.dev/api/authentication.

How many provider libraries still hold these bytes. AdCrunch cannot withdraw them. Tell the person; letting them assume otherwise is worse.
