Hi All,

We are planning to migrate crx2 to Oak. it toook more time so decided to remove DAM folders before migration, DAM consists of more and more sub folders,

I need to delete /content/dam entire folders. Once i am doing  getting "could not save - 401 error or error -1".Please let me know how to delete dam contents.

For  ex: If any folder sizse is big , i am getting the below error.Only JPG or image files are deleting and saving properly. Any curl command or something to perform this

You can delete assets by following this doc topic:

(This is the correct answer on how to delete DAM files. For large data sets - there may be other issues)

You are following the standard way of deleting the assets - the question is why are you getting these errors. 

What does the log file state?

You can create a package with empty contents under dam path you want too delete. And then install the package to delete everything. Otherwise you can try deleting using the curl command -  curl -X DELETE http://localhost:4502/path/to/node -u admin:admin

Hi Smac,

Yes, i navigated to CRXDE and selected /content/dam/TEST folder .Right click and delete,Getting error as i mentioned same.

In our instances, we have 600 GB of datas . More images and videos. I guess if i delete folders which is more size, triggering error. Something need to change on IO tmp dir size.

 

Also 1 more query , while doing migration using crx2oak.jar file, is this will do any activity on /tmp location.

I am not able to delete big folder under DAM , so i moved to /tmp folder before migration, This will have any impact on migration or just jar will skip this /lib location.
