<p>Hi Steven,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To send a list via a POST command, you need to put a [] in the parameter</p>

<div>Apparently, there is also a /batch_delete method, but I haven’t yet managed to figure out</div>
<div>how to give it the correct record_uris parameter. I’ve tried several different ways of encoding</div>
<div>record_uris (as a plain string, a json string, a json list of strings… ), and several different resource URIs,</div>
<div>but I always seem to get something like:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>{"error":{"record_uris":["Wanted type [String] but got '/repositories/25/resources/3610/tree'"]}}</div>

<div>Also: attempting to delete an empty repository from the admin interface yields the error:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>even though the admin browse shows no Accessions, Resources or Digital Objects in the repo,</div>
<div>and API /repositories/:repo_id/resources?all_ids=true returns empty [ ] . </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, after doing a ‘transfer repository’ to another repo, I am able to delete the first repository. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since we’re still testing, we’ve had to frequently resort to just deleting all of the mysql database </div>
<div>tables and starting over fresh. </div>

You can delete all of the resources in a repo thru the backend web api<br>
with something like this:<br>
<br>
<br>
REPO=<a href="http://localhost:8089">http://localhost:8089</a><br>
#<br>
REPO_ID=$1<br>
#<br>
DELETE='-X DELETE'<br>
for ID in $( curl_as_osx admin admin<br>
"$REPO/repositories/$REPO_ID/resources?all_ids=true" | tail -1 | tr<br>
'[],' ' ' )<br>
do<br>
curl_as_osx admin admin $DELETE<br>
$REPO/repositories/$REPO_ID/resources/$ID | tail -1 | json_pp<br>
done<br>
<br>
<br>
i.e. First curl gets the list of resource ids in that repo. Loop over<br>
the list and do a HTTP DELETE on each resource.<br>
<br>
If you don’t want to delete them all, there may be a way to do a finer<br>
selection thru the search API, but I haven’t figure out how to do it.<br>
Perhaps something like this is easier to do in the jirb console.<br>
