element.delete(dimension, name)
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `dimension` | `string` | The dimension's name or id. |
| `name` | `string` | The element's name. |

## Returns

An empty string when it succeeds, or an error message when the dimension can't be found. Deleting an element that doesn't exist isn't an error.
