Bulk Deleting of Files

Bulk Deleting of Files

I have read the suggestion of deleting smaller numbers of files when getting the "There are too many files in one request. Please retry with fewer files." message.

The issue is I have a couple of million files I want to delete.  Manually selecting individual files is not a reasonable option.  Is there a API that can be used to directly address the cloud storage?

Hi @jak01,

Yes, there are API access points letting file delete. Take a look here and the followings.

Good luck.
