- **UNSUPPRESS**: Stop the ongoing suppression of a `userId`.
74-
- **SUPPRESS_WITH_DELETE**: Suppress new data based on the `userId` and also delete all existing data for that ID from your workspace and our internal archives. While Segment forwards the deletion request to your downstream destinations, Segment cannot guarantee deletion in your third-party tools.
