DML Operation on contentversion

Hi,

 

When i use the following query for deleting the contentversion stored files,

 

List<contentVersion> lstCV = [select id from contentversion];
system.debug('----->'+lstCV.size());
delete lstCV;

 

 

i got the below error.

 

line 3, column 1: DML operation DELETE not allowed on ContentVersion

 

 

Can any one please tell me, how can i delete the multiple records through a list from contentversion?

Hi,

 

Yes you can't delete a version via the API.DML operation DELETE not allowed on ContentVersion.

Salesforce does not allow DML operation through API on the ContentVersion.

 

For more details refer to below Link:

 

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_contentversion.htm#sforce_api_objects_contentversion

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Ah yeah, After all, that was really helpful for me :D

 

So if we want to delete a content we have to do it from ContentDocument and not ContentVersion

 

Thanks

Salesforce very unhelpfully changed all the URL's on the documentation so the links in historical documents no longer work (with no re-directs - a genius idea). If anyone has a new link......
