    Hi Ronnie,

     

    You can use the delete method https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling7/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ResourceResolver.html#delete-org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource-

     

    Alternatively, you can use - https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/spec/jcr/1.0/7.1.6_Removing_Nodes_and_Properties.html

    javax.jcr.Node jcrNode = jcrsession.getNode("/sites/mySite");
    jcrNode.remove();
    jcrsession.save();

        Hi @ronnie09 ,

                 You need to used Node api for adding and removing .

        Using Node API

        Adapt the resource to Node

        Node node = resource.adaptTo(Node.class);

        Then remove a node using function removenode(java.lang.String relPath, java.lang.String primaryNodeTypeName)"

        • node.remove(nodeName, NodePrimaryType);
        • you can add properties using function "setProperty(java.lang.String name,Value value)"
        • Save the session so that the new Node and its properties are saved

        Kr,

        Sanjay
