Hi Ronnie,

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

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
