## User deletion

Deletes a user. Available only for administrators. This is an idempotent function, calling this function
for a non-existent user id still returns a status code `200 Ok`. The JSON response differs if the user
was actually deleted or not. In the former the user is returned and in the latter not.

```
DELETE /users/:id
```

Parameters:

+ `id` (required) - The ID of the user
