## Response

Successful deletion returns HTTP `204 No Content` with an empty body. Check the status code to confirm success.

## Response example

```http
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
```

## Error response example

404 — the payer type has already been deleted:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "ENTITY_NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "person type is not exists"
  }
}
```
