Problem/Motivation
When assets are deleted in Acquia DAM (Widen Collective), they are not automatically unpublished on the Drupal website. This creates a challenge for users, as there is currently no way to identify which media assets have been deleted in Widen from the Drupal end.
Additionally, the following error continues to be logged in dblog/syslog.
Log #1
Type: acquia_dam
Message: "Client error: `GET https://api.widencollective.com/v2/assets/beefad34-ea27-4bbf-a2f8-19258e288670?expand=asset_properties,embeds,file_properties,metadata,metadata_info,metadata_vocabulary,security,thumbnails` resulted in a `404 Not Found` response: { "error": true, "response_code": 404, "error_message": "Asset with id 'beefad34-ea27-4bbf-a2f8-19258e288670' was (truncated...)"

- Upload an asset of type image, PDF, or document and ensure the asset is uploaded successfully.
- Install Drupal and the Acquia DAM module.
- Log in to Drupal as an admin.
- Create or edit an existing content type to add a media field with Acquia DAM media types (bundles).
- Create content and add DAM media.
- Verify that assets/media render correctly on the content.
- Back in the Acquia DAM (Widen) dashboard, delete any asset that was used in the content.
- Clear the cache and execute the cron job.
- View the content; the asset is missing, and error logs appear in dblog/syslog.
