This removes the memory completely from the vector index and database. The operation deletes: 1. All chunks associated with the resource (including embeddings) 2. The documents row AND any legacy resources rows sharing the identity — leaving either one behind would resurrect the memory through the double-read path (ENG-2477). Args: source: The document provider (e.g., gmail, notion, vault) resource_id: The unique identifier of the resource to delete api_token: Authentication token Returns: MemoryDeletionResponse with deletion details Raises: DocumentNotFound: If the resource doesn't exist or user doesn't have access ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://app.stainlessapi.com/api/spec/documented/hyperspell.yaml delete /memories/delete/{source}/{resource_id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Hyperspell API summary: >- Hyperspell is the memory layer for AI apps and agents.
