Giacomo Dorandini Delete Knowledge Article Version with Apex
Hi,
I'm trying to delete a knowledge article version record using apex, in details what I try to do is:
string t = (string that holds the Id of the article)
KnowledgeArticleVersion articleToRemove = [SELECT Id FROM KnowledgeArticleVersion WHERE Id = :t];
delete articleToRemove ;
When I try to save the class I recieve the following error message:
DML operation DELETE not allowed on KnowledgeArticleVersion
Same error messagge if I use the article type insted of KnowledgeArticleVersion (FAQ__kav articleToRemove = [SELECT Id FROM FAQ__kav WHERE Id = :t])
Any suggestion? I found this in the documentation
Thank you for your help.

- To create, update, or delete a Knowledge article version, use the call on ArticleType_kav, where ArticleType is the name of the article’s type. For example, to delete use ArticleType_kav.delete(). (see http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_objects_knowledgearticleversion.htm)
Thank you for your help.
Are you trying to delet the articles which are online?
Try the articles which are either archived or draft stage.
Thanks,

thank you for your answer. The article I'm trying to delete is in Draft status. Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Giacomo
I tried thi on developer console:
string t = ('18_digit_id_of_article')
FAQ__kav articleToRemove = [SELECT Id FROM FAQ__kav WHERE Id = :t]
delete articleToRemove ;
After this also it's showing that:
"DML operation DELETE not allowed on FAQ__kav"
So Articles can be archived and not deleted.
Thanks,
Pratik
Try this
String articleVersionId = 'Insert article ID';
KbManagement.PublishingService.deleteDraftTranslation (articleVersionId);
