Deleting MLflow runs programmatically

I would like to programmatically delete some MLflow runs based on a given run id. I am interested in the best practices on how to do this in Databricks workspaces.

I know that MLflow cli has gc command which seems quite useful since it also deletes associated artifacts with a run id. I tried to use that in a Databricks workspace but it gave me an error saying: 

mlflow.exceptions.MlflowException: This cli can only be used with a backend that allows hard-deleting runs

Does anyone have experience with running this command or other best practices deleting runs programmatically?

Hi, it does indeed suggest that. But, is it something configurable in Databricks workspaces? I tried to find a setting in the Admin Settings tab, but I couldn't find anything.
