Use the Delete Document Data service

Note: To ensure improved control, only External Applications with the following scope can access this endpoint: Du.Deletion.Api. Make sure to add this scope to your application before authenticating.

You can use the DELETE API to remove all runtime data (excluding Monitor data) related to a given documentId.

This API allows you to clean up all associated data from a document without waiting for the automatic expiration.

Deleting document data

To initiate the deletion of all data linked to a document, use the following call:

DELETE /projects/{projectId}/document/{documentId}/DELETE /projects/{projectId}/document/{documentId}/

Note: Deletion operations are asynchronous, which means the update might not appear right away. Please allow a short time before confirming.

curl -X 'DELETE' \
  'https://cloud.uipath.com/<Organization_Name>/<Tenant_Name>/du_/api/framework/projects/<Project_ID>/document/<Document_ID>/api-version=1.1' \
  -H 'accept: text/plain' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "removeValidationDataFromStorage": true
}'curl -X 'DELETE' \
  'https://cloud.uipath.com/<Organization_Name>/<Tenant_Name>/du_/api/framework/projects/<Project_ID>/document/<Document_ID>/api-version=1.1' \
  -H 'accept: text/plain' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "removeValidationDataFromStorage": true
}'

You can also use the following optional input parameter when making the deletion call:

removeValidationDataFromStorage: true or false (default)removeValidationDataFromStorage: true or false (default)

The removeValidationDataFromStorage parameter controls whether the associated storage bucket files are also deleted:

If set to true, the associated files from Orchestrator Storage Buckets are removed.

After the deletion call, a 202 Accepted response message is displayed.

Confirming deletion

To confirm the deletion, use the following call:

GET /projects/{projectId}/digitization/result/{documentId}GET /projects/{projectId}/digitization/result/{documentId}

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://cloud.uipath.com/<Organization_Name>/<Tenant_Name>/du_/api/framework/projects/<Project_ID>/digitization/result/<Document_ID>?api-version=1.1' \
  -H 'accept: text/plain'curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://cloud.uipath.com/<Organization_Name>/<Tenant_Name>/du_/api/framework/projects/<Project_ID>/digitization/result/<Document_ID>?api-version=1.1' \
  -H 'accept: text/plain'

Once the deletion is complete, a 404 Not Found message is returned.
