Description

There's currently only one way to clean-up the uploaded dataset, disposed for annotations: using the "Remove from Project" option in the RF Annotations UI.
This makes the cleanup process for the unwanted images really slow and inconvenitent, especially with large amount of images.

There should definitely be a way to remove images via API.
