Delete a batch of resources based on attribute values

Positional arguments:

query

A query to filter resource. The syntax is a combination of attribute, operator and value. For example: id=90d58eea-70d7-4294-a49a-170dcdf44c3c would filter resource with a certain id. More complex queries can be built, e.g.: not (flavor_id!="1" and memory>=24). Use "" to force data to be interpreted as string. Supported operators are: not, and, ∧ or, ∨, >=, <=, !=, >, <, =, ==, eq, ne, lt, gt, ge, le, in, like, ≠, ≥, ≤, like, in.
