Delete account

DELETE/partners/chart-of-accounts/{uuid}

Deletes a chart-of-accounts entry by UUID.

Partner-created accounts are deletable until they have journal entries, sub-accounts, invoice products, or payroll mappings. If delete fails because of posted activity, deactivate the account with PATCH instead. Use GET with `includeDeleteMeta=true` to read `canDelete` and `deleteBlockedReason` before calling delete.
