Azure Fhir Server Hard Delete

When working with Azure FHIR server I noticed that some resources (I was working with Coverage) were not deleting using the DELETE rest API. Instead, the FHIR server creates a new version of the resource that is essentially empty. For example, if there are 21 versions of a Coverage resource and you delete the resource itselft, the FHIR server creates a version 22 that is empty, but the other 21 versions still exist.

If you really want to delete a resource use the hardDelete parameter.
