At the moment you cannot delete targets.

Once a target exists, it accumulates historic data (audit log, versions =
that are deployed to it). ACE keeps a full history of everything that =
ever happened, so you cannot currently delete a target.

Now obviously we can discuss this, as there might be use cases where you =
simply do not care about a target (and its history?) anymore, but as the =
current REST API reflects the client API, delete does not work.
