Delete an asset filter with Python

The functions in the Python code snippets assume that you have:

1. Imported the necessary modules. You may not need all of the modules shown here. If the code below doesn't use the module, you can omit it.
2. Created and edited an .env file that contains your authentication values. You can get a sample.env file from the Media Services Python samples.
3. Read and instantiated environment variables by using load_env() as below. Depending on what you are doing, you may or may not need some of the variables.
4. Created a Media Services client as below.

from dotenv import load_dotenv
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.media import AzureMediaServices
from azure.mgmt.media.models import (
    AccountFilter,
    FirstQuality,
    AssetFilter
)
import os

# Get environment variables
load_dotenv()

subscription_id = os.getenv("SUBSCRIPTIONID")
account_name=os.getenv("ACCOUNTNAME")
resource_group_name=os.getenv("RESOURCEGROUP")
client_id = os.getenv("AZURE_CLIENT_ID")
storage_account_name=os.getenv("STORAGEACCOUNTNAME")

# Create the Media Services client and authenticate using the DefaultAzureCredential
default_credential = DefaultAzureCredential()
client = AzureMediaServices(default_credential, subscription_id)

# From SDK:
# delete(resource_group_name: str, account_name: str, asset_name: str, filter_name: str, **kwargs: Any) -> None
def delete_asset_filter(resource_group_name, account_name, asset_name, filter_name):
    client.asset_filters.delete(resource_group_name, account_name, asset_name, filter_name)
    
delete_asset_filter(resource_group_name, account_name, asset_name, filter_name)
