Hey! I've been suffering from this behavior as well, and I belive I've identified the source of the issue:

1. InfluxDB's API was updated (quite some time ago, actually), and now it expects DELETE queries at /api/v2/orgs/{org id}/secrets/{secret key} instead of POST queries at /api/v2/orgs/{org id}/secrets/delete...
2. ... but the InfluxDB client has not been updated yet, and it still sends POST queries to /api/v2/orgs/{org id}/secrets/delete when the "secret delete" command is executed

I'm working on a fix for it (I've already finished developing it, and right now I'm doing some testing - as soon as it is ready I will create a PR for it)

I believe this issue should be opened in the influx-cli repo though, not the influxdb repo

Hey @FernandoBenayas, thanks for tracking this down. I am going to move this to the influx-cli repo as I agree that's a better place for it.
