Removing a component from a Note

[mitch.s]

Removing a 'Note_Component'

Removing the component itself works fine.
I query the component by id to get the existing_component ;

server_location = session.query('Location where name is "ftrack.server"').one()
existing_component = session.query('Component where id is {0}'.format(COMPONENT_ID)).one()

server_location.remove_component(existing_component)
session.commit()

#must close after remove !
session.close()

 

but it seems like some data still remains in the Note_Component (a Note_Component without a Component ?)

 

Do I need to clean this up by hand or is there a more straightforward method?
If by hand, how?

Hi,

With the code you have there you are only removing the component file from the server location.

Instead, try to remove the component itself:

session.delete(component)

session.commit()

Hey Mattias,
What happens with the components that are removed? Does the database just stop tracking them? Is there a way to purge files that have been removed, but not deleted? 


Thanks
