## Response

Returns the updated Component object.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "c123",
  "name": "ProductCard",
  "status": "deleted",
  "version": 3,
  "lastPublishedVersion": 3,
  "content": "...",
  "metadata": {
    "deletedAt": "2024-03-22T10:00:00Z",

  "updatedAt": "2024-03-22T10:00:00Z"
}

## Use Cases

### Soft Delete a Component

Set status to `deleted` to prevent future use while maintaining existing package references:

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "deleted"
}
```

### Restore a Deleted Component

Set status back to `draft` or `modified` to restore a deleted component:

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "draft"
}
```
