REST API: DELETE product with ID Request returns the item information and doesn*t delete the product

[Buchgeister]

I tried the following request using Postman:

DELETE https://{{store}}/admin/api/2024-01/products/{{id}}.json

The headers for content-type and access token where set correctly

The response is:

{
“product”: {
“id”: 9164334858577,
“title”: “Sternstunden der Menschheit”,
…
}

So I got the product information, but the product will not be deleted. Even not ofter some tries, different products and after waiting some hours.

I checked the API documentation at
