[SOLVED] Quick way to delete many playcanvas hosted builds?

Help & Support

Quick question- Is there any way to delete multiple playcanvas hosted builds at this point in time? When testing things on device I tend to make hundreds of playcanvas builds over the course of the project and now my project is sitting at 17 GB. Current solution has just been to go to builds tab and tap the right dropdown->delete->areyousure->yes which can be very time consuming when this action needs to be repeated over hundreds of builds.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been in this situation so I figured it was worth asking.

Thanks!

Currently there is no way to do that through the UI.

You could try using the undocumented REST API (open Devtools and log XHR) which is a delete request with the app / build id

Thanks for the hint! :smiley:
With the help of chatGPT:

document.querySelectorAll("#layout-root > div.ui-overlay.center.picker-project > div.content > div > div > div.ui-panel.right > div > div.pcui-element.font-regular.picker-builds-publish.pcui-container.pcui-flex > ul > li").forEach(li => {
    // Prüfen, ob das li-Element die Klasse "primary" enthält
    if (!li.classList.contains("primary")) {
        // ID extrahieren
        const id = li.id.replace("app-", ""); // "app-" entfernen
        
        // DELETE-Request senden
        fetch(`https://playcanvas.com/api/apps/${id}`, {
            method: "DELETE",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            }
        })
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => console.log(`Success: ${id}`, data))
        .catch(error => console.error(`Error deleting ${id}:`, error));
    }
});
