</ParamField>

## Response

Returns `204 No Content` on success. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

  Deleting an asset removes it from all digital products it was linked to. Existing
  orders that have already been fulfilled are not affected — customers who have
  already purchased will retain their download access.
