teradataml.store.feature_store.feature_store.FeatureStore.delete_feature_process = delete_feature_process(self, process_id)
DESCRIPTION:
    Deletes the archived feature process from feature store with the given process_id.
    Notes:
         * One feature can be ingested by multiple processes. If feature associated with
           process "process_id" is also ingested by other processes, then "delete_feature_process()"
           function only deletes the feature values associated with the process "process_id". Else
           it deletes the feature from the feature catalog. Look at 'FeatureCatalog.delete_features()'
           for more details.
 
PARAMETERS:
    process_id:
        Required Argument.
        Specifies the ID of the FeatureProcess to delete from repository.
        Types: str
 
RETURNS:
    bool
 
RAISES:
    TeradataMLException, TypeError, ValueError
 
EXAMPLES:
    >>> load_example_data('dataframe', ['sales'])
    # Create a teradataml DataFrame.
    >>> from teradataml import DataFrame, FeatureProcess, FeatureStore
    >>> df = DataFrame("sales")
 
    # Create FeatureStore for repo 'repo'.
    >>> fs = FeatureStore("repo", data_domain='sales')
    Repo repo does not exist. Run FeatureStore.setup() to create the repo and setup FeatureStore.
    # Setup FeatureStore for this repository.
    >>> fs.setup()
    True
 
    # Run FeatureProcess to ingest features.
    >>> from teradataml import FeatureProcess
    >>> fp = FeatureProcess(repo='repo',
