Delete Dangerous

Destroy a Droplet and All of its Associated Resources (Dangerous)
delete/v2/droplets/{droplet_id}/destroy_with_associated_resources/dangerous

To destroy a Droplet along with all of its associated resources, send a DELETE request to the /v2/droplets/$DROPLET_ID/destroy_with_associated_resources/dangerous endpoint. The headers of this request must include an X-Dangerous key set to true. To preview which resources will be destroyed, first query the Droplet's associated resources. This operation can not be reverse and should be used with caution.

A successful response will include a 202 response code and no content. Use the status endpoint to check on the success or failure of the destruction of the individual resources.
