I m trying to delete a block from cli using `prefect block delete id lt some id gt ` but I get `Deployment lt some id gt not found ` is it a bug

it worked using `curl X DELETE <http 127 0 0 1 4200 api block documents > lt some id gt ` but it is quite odd this api does not work with UUID hex as flows it needs the id with dashes

it worked using

curl -X DELETE <http://127.0.0.1:4200/api/block_documents/><some_id>

but it is quite odd: this api does not work with UUID.hex (as /flows), it needs the id with dashes

but with dashes yes
