Delete profile extension data 

To remove the data defined for custom fields added to a profile, send a HTTP DELETE request to the Profiles Extension resource.

You can only remove custom field data from the profile of the user whose credentials you used to authenticate with the server. See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.

To remove the data defined for custom fields added to a profile...

  1. Get the person's user feed. See Search for a user's profile.

  2. Get the URI of the extension resource which is specified in the href attribute of the <link> element in the user's user feed that has a rel="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/ext-attr" attribute and a snx:extensionId attribute that matches the extension you want to update.

  3. Send a DELETE request to the web address specified in the href attribute.

This operation only deletes the data stored in the extension, it does not remove the definition of the extension.
