DELETE /application/applications/{uuid}

Introduced In: 9.6

Deletes an application and all associated data.

Warning - this deletes it all, including your data

This deletes everything created with the application, including any volumes, LUNs, NFS export policies, CIFS shares, and initiator groups. Initiator groups are only destroyed if they were created as part of an application and are no longer in use by other applications.

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

Application UUID

delete_data

boolean

query

False

By default, deleting an application deletes all of the application's data. By setting this parameter to "false", the application's data is preserved, but can no longer be managed through application APIs.

  • Introduced in: 9.8

  • Default value: 1

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0
