I am facing a similar issue. Earlier only soft delete was enabled.
So I was trying to delete a type,but I got error as type already had some
entities.Now I deleted all Entities and then enabled hard delete.
Thus it was a soft delete and hence deleting that type again failed,and now
after enabling hard delete when I am trying to delete that entity(as I need to
basically delete the Type), I am not able to do so. Even I tried setting status
to ACTIVE via the java API for entity and still status remained same.Is there a
workaround for this problem?

> Soft and hard deletes, deleting a "DELETED" entity and cleanup of unused types

> Key: ATLAS-2498
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-2498
> Project: Atlas
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
> Reporter: Mark Kiami
> Priority: Major
>
> Hello,
> Since the documentation on this feature not clear, could you please answer or
> confirm the following:
> # When an entity is deleted, its status goes to "DELETED", this is a soft
> delete.
> # Does Atlas version 0.8.0 support hard deletes (HDP 2.6.4 ships with 0.8.0)?
> # Is the atlas.DeleteHandler.impl configuration key supported in this
> version?
> # Is it possible to delete a "DELETED" entity?
> I am asking this because I am stuck in the following scenario:
> * Create a new ENTITY type named "custom_type"
> * Create an entity of that type "entity_1_of_custom_type", its status is
> "ACTIVE"
> * Delete the entity "entity_1_of_custom_type", its status is "DELETED"
> * Delete the ENTITY type named "custom_type"
> * I get an error: \{"errorCode":"ATLAS-409-00-002","errorMessage":"Given
> type custom_type has references"}
> How is it possible in this case to cleanup both the DELETED entity and the
> unused type "custom_type"?
> Thanks!
