The libraryRemove Method

Remove existing library/ies. This process is asynchronous – the intial request will start the removal process and the initial response will show information about the library/ies being removed – however the removal process will proceed after the response is returned. The user is expected to continue checking the library/ies status using the libraryGetStatus method until the removal process is complete. Once libraryGetStatus contains no information about the specific library/ies, they have been completely remove. Note*: When the library is removed, its all library versions also are removed.

Note:

When the last library version from some library is removed the library itself is removed also.
