Operation ID: `endUsers.delete`. Tag: End users.

Permanently deletes the end user, its connection, its Web Connector credentials and its stored request data. The Web Connector on the end user's computer stops working for this application; remove the application from the Web Connector afterwards.

Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer <secret key>`.

## Path parameters
