WP_REST_Terms_Controller::delete_item_permissions_check() WordPress Method

The WP_REST_Terms_Controller::delete_item_permissions_check() method is used to check if a given request has permission to delete a term. This method is used to check if a user has the required capability to delete a term. The method does not check if the user can edit the term.
