            Not found. To resolve it:

            - **No item matches the `id` (`item-not-found`):** Pass a valid item `id`, or create the item first. Check that the item to be deleted exists in your catalog.
            - **No catalog matches the `catalog_name` (`catalog-not-found`):** Pass a valid `catalog_name`. Find it with the [List catalogs endpoint]({{site.baseurl}}/api/endpoints/catalogs/catalog_management/synchronous/get_list_catalogs/). Check that the catalog name is valid.

            The status code `404` could return the following response body. Refer to [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) for more information about errors you may encounter.
