    What is the right way to delete part of the content tree? (quick way)

    Hi Dear Everyone,

    I have faced with another obstacle on my project - I had to clean up a small part of content tree, here is what behind the scene was called:

    url:POST /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Content/DeleteById?id=105518, time:2087641 msec, client:....

    as U can see, request executed more then 2K seconds!

    Would U please suggest the right (QUICK) way to delete the part of the content tree using ... whatever?

    P.S. Right now I just pressed DELETE in backoffice on the one of root node. Configuration:

    • Umbraco 7.2.4
    • MS SQL Express
    • 4 Core CPU + 4 GB RAM

    Thanks in advance. Looking forward for any ideas U have ...

    Hi StasN,

    I would recommend you to have a look at the ContentService, which has the method to delete nodes from the content tree.

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/management/services/contentservice

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Dennis!

    Thanks for your quick idea ...

    I will check it and share my results.

    Only question - do U think "DeleteById" method from UmbracoApi uses something different? While it's internal "special" method ...

    Anyway thanks! I will check it right now...

    Quick info,

    Unfortunately I can't right now implement code into controller, so I quickly put it into view and tried with Media Content using Services:

    Descendants to delete: 499
Time: 00:03:04.4835616

    Is it good? But - It's obviously better then 33 minutes I got with content from backoffice, but I didn't check the amount of nodes before deleting.

    Decided to restore DB and test it beside original project ... just to close our conversation:

    Descendants to delete: 1667
Time: 00:07:00.8267001

    Thank U!
