Content Library Item delete
Deletes a library item.
This operation will immediately remove the item from the library that owns it. The content of the item will be asynchronously removed from the storage backings. The content deletion can be tracked with a task. In the event that the task fails, an administrator may need to manually remove the files from the storage backing.
This operation cannot be used to delete a library item that is a member of a subscribed library. Removing an item from a subscribed library requires deleting the item from the original published local library and syncing the subscribed library.
Returns an authorization error if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:
- The resource
com.vmware.content.library.Itemreferenced by the parameter libraryItemId requiresContentLibrary.DeleteLibraryItem.
Identifier of the library item to delete.
The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.content.library.Item.
Success!
Vapi Std Errors InvalidElementType if the library item with the given libraryItemId is a member of a subscribed library.
Vapi Std Errors NotAllowedInCurrentState if the library item contains a virtual machine template and a virtual machine is checked out of the library item.

}Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers.
The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.
Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.
Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully.
Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.
The Vapi Std Errors ArgumentLocations, Vapi Std Errors FileLocations, and Vapi Std Errors TransientIndication schemas are intended as possible values for this property. Vapi Std DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this property (although that is not its primary purpose). Some resources may provide their own specific schemas for use as the value of this property when reporting errors from their operations.
Some operations will not set this property when reporting errors.
Discriminator field to help API consumers identify the structure type.

This property was added in vSphere API 6.7.2.
Can be missing or null for compatibility with preceding implementations.
