    Hi @sdusane 

     

    For AEMaaCS you can try something like:

    curl -H "Authorizatin: Bearer [token]" -F":operation=delete" https://author-p[ProgramID]-e[EnvironmentID].adobeaemcloud.com/var/acs-commons/mcp/instances

     

    Replace token, ProgramID, EnvironmentID with your project specific values. And try.

    I recommend to do it on lower envs first, to see how it goes.

    Hi @sdusane ,

    curl -u username:password -X DELETE http://localhost:4502/content/dam/test/product-assets/test

    However ensure that user have enough access to perform the delete operation and before deleting folder /var/acs-commons/mcp/instances go through https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/mcp/subpages/maintenance.html

        I don't have access to a cloud instance at the moment. I see what I can do.

         

        But meanwhile, I just observed I have a typo in my example. Instead of

        Authorizatin

        it should be

        Authorization

          To delete the folder /var/acs-commons/mcp/instances in an AEM Cloud instance using cURL: curl -u <username>:<password> -X DELETE "https://<aem-instance-url>/bin/rep:deleteNode.jsp?path=/var/acs-commons/mcp/instances"

          • Replace <username>, <password>, and <aem-instance-url> with your AEM credentials and instance URL.
          • This deletes the folder and its contents from the JCR repository.
