 # pylint: disable=line-too-long """ Remove listener destinations from a WBEM server, by deleting the listener destination instances in the server. The listener destinations must be owned or permanent (i.e. not static). This method verifies that there are not currently any subscriptions on the listener destinations to be removed, in order to handle server implementations that do not ensure that on the server side as required by :term:`DSP1054`. Parameters: server_id (:term:`string`):
 The server ID of the WBEM server, returned by :meth:`~pywbem.WBEMSubscriptionManager.add_server`. destination_paths (:class:`~pywbem.CIMInstanceName` or list of :class:`~pywbem.CIMInstanceName`):
 Instance path(s) of the listener destination instance(s) in the WBEM server. Raises: Exceptions raised by :class:`~pywbem.WBEMConnection`. CIMError: CIM_ERR_FAILED, if there are referencing subscriptions. """
