### Overview

Delete resources from a batch migration. The request is all-or-nothing: it returns
`404 Not Found` if any resource does not exist, and `409 Conflict` if any resource is
`in_progress` or `publishing`. In both cases nothing is deleted. Duplicate resource IDs
are ignored. Detection rules already published from the deleted resources are not deleted.

This endpoint requires the `security_monitoring_rules_write` permission.

OAuth apps require the `security_monitoring_rules_write` authorization [scope](https://dnd37xeb23o8n.cloudfront.net/stefon.simmons/docs-astro-web-10435/api/latest/scopes.md#security-monitoring) to access this endpoint.
