Discussion
Deletes an answer.
Note that only answer owners can delete their answers, this is not equivalent to casting a delete vote. Also be aware that there are conditions when even an answer's owner cannot delete it, and this method will respect those limits.
Use an access_token with write_access to delete an answer.
It is not possible to undelete an answer via the API.
In practice, this method will never return an object.
