Delete All Subscriber List: SOAP

Question

I am very new to APIs and eager to learn (especially as I have just uncovered that the only way to delete members from the All Subscribers List is with a SOAP Call).

I have installed Postman and following the instructions here: http://blog.getpostman.com/2014/08/22/making-soap-requests-using-postman/

Issue is I am not sure what to pass in the xml (i.e what parameters to use for the name space tags).

So far, this is the code I am using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<s:Envelope xmlns:a="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <s:Header>
        <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">Delete</a:Action>
        <a:MessageID>urn:uuid:12345</a:MessageID>
        <ActivityId CorrelationId="12345" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/09/ServiceModel/Diagnostics">123456</ActivityId>
        <a:ReplyTo>
            <a:Address>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/role/anonymous</a:Address>
        </a:ReplyTo>
        <a:To s:mustUnderstand="1">https://webservice.exacttarget.com/Service.asmx</a:To> 
<o:Security s:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:o="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"> 
    <o:UsernameToken u:Id="uuid-XXXXXXXX"> 
        <o:Username>XXXX</o:Username> 
        <o:Password>XXXX</o:Password> 
    </o:UsernameToken> 
</o:Security> 
    </s:Header>
    <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <DeleteRequest xmlns="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI">
            <Options></Options>
            <Objects xmlns:q1="http://exacttarget.com/wsdl/partnerAPI" xsi:type="q1:List">
                <q1:ID>12345</q1:ID>
                <q1:ObjectID xsi:nil="true"></q1:ObjectID>
            </Objects>
        </DeleteRequest>
    </s:Body>

I already figured out how to call the Token, but need help figuring out where to pass the parameters.

I highly recommend downloading the postman calls for marketing cloud: https://github.com/salesforce-marketingcloud/postman
