❗️

Applications Must Be inactive Before Deletion

To help prevent accidental deletion, you must transition an application to the 'inactive' state before you can delete an application. Otherwise you'll see an error message like below:

Example Response

HTTP 404 Code (bad request) with body
{
 "message": "Invalid Input: Cannot delete active applications; set application to inactive before deleting. ## 0404032 ##"
}

❗️

Delete Warning

DELETE completely remove an application from the Cogniac system and cannot be undone. But note that deleting an application does NOT delete the application's output subjects. Because applications are trained by their output subjects you can always recreate an application by adding a new application of the same type with identical output subjects.
