Once erased, all device data will be gone forever. Any request trying to update the device will return the HTTP error 451.

Use this API to remove any data related to a device ID. The user will still be able to use the app integrated to our SDK, but any data related to its device is going to be removed from our system. Deleted devices don't count as uninstalls. As the device is removed from our system straight away, this device will never count as an Uninstall in our analytics even after the user uninstalls the app from their phone.
