Hi, AFAIU the proper way of deleting an API is first removing from the store (avoiding creating further subscriptions) by changing its lifecycle status to "Deprecated" as mentioned by Chamin and then removing the API from the Gateway by retiring it (avoiding further invocations). Otherwise applications which already consume those APIs will get crashed. IMO by publisher removing subscriptions without awareness of the API's consumers may cause issues in the consumer side.
You can enable API subscription workflows to decide to which applications you are going to allow subscribing to a particular API, however it should be done via admin-portal, not by publisher. What can be the use-case for suddenly deleting a published API to the store by removing its existing subscription? Thanks.
