Documentation Review

Found a few opportunities to tighten the language and remove hedging words per the style guide. These are minor style improvements - the content is clear and helpful.

Positive notes:

  • Helpful addition of deletion latency information
  • Good consolidation of the bulk deletion note into the introduction
  • Clear explanation of automatic retry behavior

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you would like to delete in bulk, you can use the [deletion API endpoint](/reference/api/registry/latest/#tag/delete).
> Deletion operations may take some time to complete. In rare cases, you may

Hedging language detected

The phrase "In rare cases, you may" uses hedging language. Per STYLE.md, avoid hedge words. Consider:

Deletion operations may take some time to complete. Timeout errors may occur during the deletion process. The system automatically retries the deletion in the background, and the items will be removed without requiring any action from you.

This is more direct while conveying the same information.

> Manifest deletion operations may experience latency. In some cases, you may encounter a `500 Internal Server Error` during deletion. The system automatically retries the deletion in the background, so the manifest will eventually be removed. You do not need to manually retry the request.

Hedging language and verbosity

The phrase "In some cases, you may" uses hedging language, and "without requiring manual intervention or additional requests from your side" is unnecessarily verbose. Per STYLE.md, be concise and avoid hedge words. Consider:

Manifest deletion operations may take some time and could return a 500 Internal Server Error. The system automatically retries the deletion in the background. Manual intervention is not required.

This is more concise and direct.
