DELETE Users / Devices

This endpoint erases all devices belonging to a given user. Since this is a bulk operation, the total number of devices erased in one call is capped at 10. In addition if some erase operations fail this will be reflected in the return body. The caller may be required to call this endpoint more than once depending on the result (e.g. to erase 13 devices belonging to a user, two calls to this endpoint are required)
