## Description

* * *

Support for deleting measurements by ID when using enhanced time series support has been added. Previously, deleting  
by ID was only possible for legacy measurements.

```http
DELETE /measurement/measurements/{id}

```

> **Info**  
> Deleting measurements by ID is not optimal. We recommend deleting measurements by [query](https://cumulocity.com/api/core/#operation/deleteMeasurementCollectionResource)  
> or by applying retention rules for better performance.
