How to delete records / relationships in a SugarCRM web service

Question

The SugarCRM Web Service API provides only methods for Set and Retrieve records / relationships.

How can I make delete / delete records and their relationship with records in other related modules?

Is the web service API designed for Get and Set only?

You can set the “deleted” flag to “1” as one of the fields in “name_value_list” in the set_entry / set_entries call, and it will mark the entry.

For relationships, you can use set_relationship / set_relationships and pass the argument '1' for the 7th argument so that this call removes the relationships instead of adding them.
