Delete all artifacts in a workspace via API
Hello,
We're trying to empty contents of a workspace via an API (Power Automate Flows) for a use-case. I don't see any API to "Delete all content", do we have to run separate DELETE calls for reports, datasets, etc.,?
Pls let me know.
Thanks!
Hi pvuppala ,
According to the check and test, I found that there is really no API that can realize to clear all the contents in the workspace at one time, you can consider to use the "For each" loop in Automate to loop to get all the contents in the workspace, and then combine with the rest api of PBI to do the batch deletion. and then use PBI's rest api to do batch deletion.
