Marks target Property as soft-deleted (ie: "trashed") and returns it.
This API does not have a method to restore soft-deleted properties. However, they can be restored using the Trash Can UI.
If the properties are not restored before the expiration time, the Property and all child resources (eg: GoogleAdsLinks, Streams, AccessBindings) will be permanently purged. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6154772
