delete /prod/v1/file-type

This endpoint is used to bulk delete file types.

Each id is processed independently. The endpoint returns HTTP 200 whenever the request is authorized and the body is valid, even when some or all ids fail — per-id failures are reported in `errors[]`, and `success` is `false` only when nothing was deleted and at least one id failed.

Deleting an id that was already deleted yields a per-item "Schema is not found or already deleted" error rather than a request-level failure, so retries are safe.

Malformed ids are reported as per-item `Invalid schema ID format` errors, not as a validation failure for the whole request. Duplicate ids are processed once.

An id that fails for an unexpected reason reports the generic message `Schema could not be deleted`; the underlying cause is recorded server-side.

At most 50 ids may be sent per request; a larger batch is rejected with 422 `VALIDATION_FAILED` before any deletion runs. Deletion is performed inline and one id at a time, so split larger sets across requests.

The `Idempotency-Key` header is optional. When supplied, a repeated request with the same key replays the original response for 24 hours.
