Description
Deleting data in Cloud IOx
- Best practice for time series data is to add version tags or other tags to points as you write them. Then, instead of deleting (invalid?) data points, use tag filters in your queries to retrieve the versioned data you want.
- Deleting data is not currently supported.
- Deleting data may be necessary if you need to:
- Decommission (expired?) data.
- Remove data for policy reasons.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or concrete entry points, and its relevant-URL section is still a placeholder. First clarify the supported deletion behavior and the intended versioning guidance for Cloud IOx. Done should include agreed best practices, deletion considerations, and concrete patterns or examples in the documentation.
