Removes the sandbox with this name, for cleanup after a crash. An unknown name succeeds as a no-op. A name whose create is still pending succeeds, and the sandbox is removed when its create completes. 404 `not_found` means the platform could not act on the named sandbox for this lane, a platform fault to report with the request id.

`DELETE /v1/sandboxes`

**Responses**

- `204` — Removed, or nothing to remove.
- `400` — \`invalid\_request\`: The request does not match the contract.
- `401` — \`unauthorized\`: The API key is missing, unknown or revoked.
- `404` — \`not\_found\`: No such resource in this key's lane. Another lane's ids are not found either.
- `500` — \`internal\_error\`: The platform failed. A retry may succeed; for a call that creates or writes, retry with the same Idempotency-Key.
- `503` — \`unavailable\`: A service behind the API could not be reached. Retry after a short wait; for a call that creates or writes, with the same Idempotency-Key.
