I'm using Python 2.7 with a stand-alone server running ArcGIS Server 10.7. I would like to be able to delete an image service in my Python code and I saw that one can do this with a POST request to the ArcGIS REST API. I've never used this before so I'm not familiar with the syntax. I'm trying the code below to delete an image service "test2" - it runs successfully but the service is not deleted. However I can delete the service manually. Does anyone know why the code doesn't work? Thanks!
