I assume you are talking about deaccessioning a dataset. Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to deaccession a dataset via API. You can only do it through the GUI. Here's the open issue: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/778

p.s. We don't mention this at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/user/dataset-management.html#deaccession-dataset but it's possible for a superuser to delete a dataset via API (called "destroy" in the code). Usually this is only for test data.

If you search for "metadatablocks" at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/api/native-api.html you'll find this:

Sets the metadata blocks of the dataverse. Makes the dataverse a metadatablock root. The query body is a JSON array with a list of metadatablocks identifiers (either id or name). ::

  POST http://$SERVER/api/dataverses/$id/metadatablocks?key=$apiKey

I've never used this API endpoint myself directly but I see it's used at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.6.1/scripts/api/setup-all.sh#L70

echo "Set the metadata block for Root"
curl -s -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" -d "[\"citation\"]" $SERVER/dataverses/:root/metadatablocks/?key=$adminKey

If you feel like implementing this in the Dataverse client for Java it looks like a pull request would add some code somewhere near here: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-client-java/blob/e7b2d793263c20bb58806a421af349c442af78cd/src/main/java/com/researchspace/dataverse/http/DataverseOperationsImplV1.java#L276

I hope this helps,

Phil

No, you have to use the GUI to deaccession a dataset. Hacking on the database directly is not recommended.
