• Run ldapdelete on a soft-deleted entry to permanently remove it from the Directory Server. This example assumes that you configured soft deletes as a global configuration for requests.
    $ bin/ldapdelete \ 
      entryUUID=4e9b7847-edcb-3791-b11b-7505f4a55af4+uid=user.1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

    DELETE operation successful for DN entryUUID=4e9b7847-edcb-3791-b11b-

    Note:
    You cannot soft-delete an already soft-deleted entry. If you use the --useSoftDelete with the ldapdelete operation on a soft-deleted entry, an error message will be generated.
    DELETE operation failed. 
    Result Code: 53 (Unwilling to Perform)
