Permanently delete an asset from the account, including its stored bytes and thumbnail. Requires `confirm: true` — pass `true` only after the human operator has agreed to the deletion, not as a default. Blocked (E_ASSET_IN_USE) while the asset is linked from any published site; details.linking_sites lists the blockers.
