Hi all, As a part of multisite feature(since we are using headless cms) I want to delete very old sites(here refering sites but it may be any folder) after a period of time, I have a delete api for deleting root or any level folder, problem is it’s just deleting all data without depublishing it first. We want to unpublish entire data of selected level first i.e. folder1, folder2…etc. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/bloomreach1/original/2X/2/2503c44f27ae510f79c55b5b4ee9d5f6d944caf2.png) Below I see when I do it from UI. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/bloomreach1/original/2X/8/89b67cf55a2b90e9487fb35201d871841265e809.png) Some api’s are getting called behind it, kindly help me to find it. Thanks, Manish Kumar ---

HI @Quang_Tran, Other microservice is calling Bloomreach to delete and depublish all it’s data(only live data), for that I need direct api call. Seems above will not fullfill my requirements, please correct me. Thanks ---

Seems above will not fullfill my requirements, please correct me. @kumamanish you may need to create an endpoint for other services to use to delete/depublish documents. In that endpoint, you can use org.onehippo.repository.documentworkflow.DocumentWorkflow.depublish ---

There is no ootb api that does this, but you can easily build your own service to handle that case. See [RESTful JAX-RS Component Support - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/rest/restful-jax-rs-component-support-in-hst-2.html)
