Hi, This is regarding Elastic cloud ([cloud.elastic.co/api/v1](http://cloud.elastic.co/api/v1)) - there is no matching tag. It seems like there is no option to delete resources/deployments. when using the shutdown API it says that resources are hidden but not deleted: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/Deployment\_-\_CRUD.html#shutdown-deployment](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/Deployment_-_CRUD.html#shutdown-deployment) [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/Deployment\_-\_Commands.html#shutdown-deployment-stateless-resource](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/Deployment_-_Commands.html#shutdown-deployment-stateless-resource) I also tried to update deployment with removing resource (e.g enterprise search) from request with `prune_orphans: true` but despite getting 200 response it seems like resource still exists. Thanks, Ofir ---
