## Delete a User Profile

Soft-deletes the profile — sets `status` to `"deleted"` and records a `deletedAt` timestamp. The record remains in the database but is excluded from all queries.

```bash
curl -X POST "$KALTURA_USER_PROFILE_URL/user-profile/delete" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KALTURA_KS" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"id\": \"$PROFILE_ID\"}"
```

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `id` | string | Yes | Profile ID to delete |

**Response:** Empty body on success (HTTP 200). Returns `USER_PROFILE_NOT_FOUND` if the ID does not exist.

After soft-deletion, a **new profile can be created** for the same `userId` + `appGuid` combination. The deleted profile's `deletedAt` timestamp makes it unique in the database, allowing the new profile.

When a KalturaUser is deleted from your account, all of their non-deleted user profiles across all apps are automatically soft-deleted.
