rm / del

Function	Moves one or more pages, or one space, to the Confluence trash. del is an alias for rm.
Options	-y, --yes — required to delete. -n, --dry-run — preview; -n wins over -y.
Limitations	At most 100 targets (named paths, globs, or piped paths). Trash only — no purge. A space can only be deleted alone (rm -y /SpaceName), never by glob or pipe. Folders are refused. Confluence may take some time to finish deleting a space.

Pass several paths, use * / ? in the last segment of a path on the command line, or pipe page paths from find. With a pipe, only flags go on the command line. Zero glob matches is an error.

Deleting a parent page does not delete its children — Confluence moves them up to the next parent. To trash a whole tree, preview with find PATH | rm -n, then confirm with find PATH | rm -y. For old subtrees, find … -mtime +365 -prune | rm -n is a good preview. If you want stale pages out of the way but restorable from Confluence’s archive instead of the trash, see archive.

Flags may appear anywhere among the arguments.

Examples

$ rm -y ./OldPage
$ rm -n ./pageA ./pageB
$ rm -y ./pageA ./pageB
$ rm -y Draft*
$ find ./folder | rm -n
$ find ./MySpace/Projects -mtime +365 -prune | rm -n
$ rm --yes ./OldSpace
$ del -y ./OldPage
