v2.uploader.destroy function not wokring
Hi, i am trying to delete a resource from cloudinary using publicId, but its not working. It does console .log 'Resource deleted successfully:', undefined;
It's in nest Js
Below is my code:
private destroy(publicId: string): Promise<void> {
console.log('this is public id', publicId);
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
v2.uploader.destroy(publicId, { invalidate: true }, (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.error('Error deleting resource:', error);
reject(error);
} else {
console.log('Resource deleted successfully:', result);
resolve(result);
}
});
});
}

So it looks like you are not passing the full folder path for
gkzdhra7qwkqyuovcojcwhich would result in a 404.In fixed folder mode, the folder path is part of the public_id so you need to make sure to include it.
The public_id should be
resources/gkzdhra7qwkqyuovcojcinstead as it's in a folder called resources, can you please pass this and let me know if it works this time?Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks yeah tried this way it after my previous comment, it worked.
Providing below code in case someone stuck in this situation:
private extractPublicId(imageUrl: string): string {
const parts = imageUrl.split('/');
const fileName = parts.pop();
const publicId = fileName?.split('.')[0];
const folder = parts.pop();
return folder ? `${folder}/${publicId}` : publicId || '';
}

Hi @Sarmad ,
Thanks for reaching out.
If you are getting successful response from the API then probably you are still seeing a cached copy of the asset in your browser.
Can you do a hard-refresh or check in incognito mode or a different browser to rule this out?
Kind Regards,
Thomas

why is it then console logging this "Undefined" ?
console .log 'Resource deleted successfully:', undefined;
if (error) {
console.error('Error deleting resource:', error);
reject(error);
} else {
console.log('Resource deleted successfully:', result);
resolve(result);
}

async deleteByUrl(imageUrl: string): Promise<void> {
const publicId = this.extractPublicId(imageUrl);
if (publicId) {
await this.destroy(publicId);
}
}
private extractPublicId(imageUrl: string): string {
const parts = imageUrl.split('/');
const fileName = parts.pop();
const publicId = fileName?.split('.')[0];
return publicId || '';
}
private destroy(publicId: string): Promise<void> {
console.log('this is public id', publicId);
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
v2.uploader.destroy(publicId, { invalidate: true }, (error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.error('Error deleting resource:', error);
reject(error);
} else {

}

Hi @Sarmad ,
Can you share an actual
public_idand yourcloud_nameyou are deleting?You may be deleting a video or a raw file in which case you need to specify
resource_type:videoorresource_type:rawrespectively, the default value is alwaysimage.Thanks,
Thomas
