Delete Depots Online Task
Description
The task-based Online.delete operation removes content of a user-imported online depot from vLCM completely. As a result, the URL of the user-imported online depot will also be removed. Note: 1. To remove content of system-defined online depots, use Online.flush operation. 2. The non task-based Online.delete operation has been deprecated. It only deletes the record of depot from the list of imported online software depots, instead of removing the depot’s content from the system.
if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:
- Operation execution requires VcIntegrity.lifecycleSettings.Write.
