Yes, you can the standalone loader.

you’ll find option to delete versions, it will do all the deadlifting for you.

Alternatively, you can use ayon-python-api or use the REST API directly.
e.g. operation/delete_product

Currently, I don’t have an example for deleting products but there’s a guide about using the api.

Hi @mustafa_jafar , why doesn’t it remove the product in the database?

Currently the product is still visible in the Project Browser in the web UI (after using the solution provided by @timsergeeff):

It has the deleted tag but I can’t filter out the deleted products.

I can delete the product with the API but there’s no way to do this in the interface, is it planned?

Thanks for the link, where should I make an issue? In the AYON web UI?

If I recap:

  • We can delete all product versions in the Loader by right clicking and DeleteOld Versions > Versions_To_Keep = 0 and check Remove_Publish_Folder

  • It won’t show in the Loader again but it’s still visible in the web UI in the Browser tab for the project

  • In the UI the product version has the deleted tag and the product has "active": true but doesn’t get filtered in the UI

I believe there is an existing issue on ayon-frontend that matches this. This one: Create and delete version from web UI · Issue #832 · ynput/ayon-frontend · GitHub

The issue is more related to having a web UI for creating and deleting. As @mustafa_jafar stated, the Tray Loader is already a UI option to delete the product. It just doesn’t delete it properly from the database, as @johhnry said. It’s still visible via the web UI (including preview).
So yes, adding the functionality to the web UI too is convenient. However all tools - including Tray Loader e.g. - should clean up properly and actually delete the product where ever it’s represented.
Having web UI, stand-alone tools, integrations and disc storage out of sync will lead to confusion. And keeping large preview files of deleted products on servers will clutter them for no reason.
