You can delete an online archive from the API or the Atlas UI. You must have the GROUP_DATA_ACCESS_ADMIN (Project Data Access Admin) role to delete an online archive.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

DELETE /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/onlineArchives/{ARCHIVE-ID}
Path Element
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
Required
Unique identifier of the project that contains the specified cluster.
CLUSTER-NAME
Required
Name of the cluster that contains the collection.
ARCHIVE-ID
Required
Unique identifier of the online archive to delete.

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

status
HTTP response code
envelope
Expected response body
false

The HTTP response returns an empty JSON document.

The following example request deletes the online archive by its ID.

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" --digest \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--include \
--request DELETE "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/onlineArchives/{ARCHIVE-ID}"

If the request fails, it returns the following error:

Error Code
Description
RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND
The specified archive ID is not valid.
