I see that the saved objects API is deprecated, and that's a real bummer, the API was extremely useful for us. For most of our use cases we can probably get by using the import/export API as a worse (from our point of view) alternative, except at least for deletion.

How could we delete a dashboard, or any other saved object, using non-deprecated APIs? Thank you!

Emmanuel

Hello @emmanuel_t,

This API should still work. Deprecated shouldn't mean that it isn't working. Those won't be removed before there's alternative APIs to use for at least the most commonly used objects.
