/api/v1/discovery-sources/{discoverySourceUuid}
Removes only the General Validation registration; it never deletes or modifies the customer Data Factory or its Azure resources. Removal is blocked while imported Connections reference the source. Fabric Sources must use the reviewed Fabric removal workflow. Requires the GV.APIOwner application role, or a higher role (Owner > Contributor > Reader).

Responses
This guide summarizes response status codes and headers. Retrieve the deployed, authenticated OpenAPI document for the exact response body schemas and examples. The API also provides an authenticated Swagger UI; opening it in a browser does not automatically attach a bearer token. Error responses useapplication/problem+json. The response’s stable code and type map to the error-code reference.
