Returns

class BetaManagedAgentsDeletedMemory:

Tombstone returned by Delete a memory. Deleting a memory does not erase its version history: its versions remain listable via List memory versions while they are retained (each version is kept for at least the version retention period after it was written, unless the store itself is deleted).

String id

ID of the deleted memory (a mem_... value).

Type type
