Delete avatar

Delete a user-uploaded avatar for an account.

After deletion, the avatar endpoint will fall back to the enriched avatar or an account-type-aware fallback icon.

This endpoint only accepts accountID values for the uniqueID parameter.

To access this endpoint using an access token you'll need to specify the /accounts.write scope.
