Describe the bug

I can't get ory identity delete to work. When I run ory identity --help, the help text says:

...
Usage:
  ory delete identity id-0 [id-1] [id-2] [id-n] [flags]

I run ory ls identities and get a list of the identities in my project. Identity IDs have this format: fef2df71-f06a-45ab-b52d-8bdc8e991e49

I try to use that ID and remove the identity:

ory delete identity id-fef2df71-f06a-45ab-b52d-8bdc8e991e49 --project MY_PROJECT_ID

(or w/o the id -> ory delete identity fef2df71-f06a-45ab-b52d-8bdc8e991e49 --project MY_PROJECT_ID )

The response I get is:

Unable to locate the resource
id-fef2df71-f06a-45ab-b52d-8bdc8e991e49: this error should never be printed

I thought that maybe the help text with id-0 / id-1 tells you to select identities like list items where id-0 points to the first identity printed in the list you get from ory ls identities but this doesn't work either.
