Delete a stand-alone forum reply programmatically 

Because replies often have child replies associated with them, when you delete a reply from a forum, the reply is not entirely removed. Instead, if you use the HTTP DELETE command to delete the reply, the reply content is replaced with a standard message that states that the content has been removed. If you want a custom message to be displayed, use the HTTP PUT command instead.

Only the owner of a stand-alone forum can delete a forum reply from it. Deleted replies cannot be restored.

See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.
