How to delete attachments

[Velan Krishnan]

Hi, I have a confluence page which has lot of attachments. I need to delete all the attachments using rest api. Is there any way to achieve this?

I tried below, getting 403

curl  -u ${USER_NAME}:${USER_PASSWORD} -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -X DELETE ${CONFLUENCE_BASEURL}'/rest/api/content/'${ATTACHMENT_ID}'?status=current'

If you are looking to bulk delete attachments look at our new app Attachment Manager by Easy Apps. It is one of the features.

@Velan Krishnantake a look at Atlassian Marketplace apps, 30 free trial, to deal with attachments in bulk:

I think that authorization requires an API token instead of password. See the Basic auth for REST APIs page here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/
