> Permanently delete a participant.

<Warning>
  Deletion is **permanent** and cannot be undone. Transcriptions previously linked to this participant will retain the `participant_id` value, but the participant record will no longer be resolvable.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Returns `404` if the participant is not found.
