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

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 @Tethich ,

I was trying this curl but its failing with unauthorised event, can you please check the curl and let me know if its working for you.

Thanks.

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

Hi @Tethich 

It worked with correct spelling.

Thank you so much for the help!!!!

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.
