Bulk Delete Assets

Deleting many Assets with one command is very simple. The only information you need is the actual name of all the Assets.

Kelvin UIKelvin APIKelvin API Client (Python)

Assets can be managed from the Administration section of the UI.

Do not get confused with the Asset management in the Operations section which is designed for the Production Engineers.

To start, go to the Assets in the Administration section of the left side bar.

To delete an Asset, check multiple Assets and a Delete button will appear above the table. When ready click on the button to delete the selected Assets.

Then in the popup type PERMANENTLY DELETE to confirm the delete action.

To make life easier, you can copy the Asset Name from the Kelvin UI in Operations → Assets. Hover over the Asset Name below the Asset Title in the table, then click on the copy icon that will appear to the right of the name.

curl -X "POST" \
"https://<url.kelvin.ai>/api/v4/assets/bulk/delete" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <Your Current Token>" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

            "doc_demo_asset_01",
            "doc_demo_asset_02"
        ]
