Deleting a [CET] Tree

This high-level guide explains how to delete a [CET] Tree.

Overview

The process to delete a [CET] tree is simple through the API. Calling the Group endpoint with a DELETE method will not only remove the group but also the related data dependencies of the person and relationship records in the tree.

Orphaned Data

If your application saves Sources and Memory data to a [CET] Tree, they are not automatically deleted when a [CET] Tree is deleted. This data must be explicitly removed. Please confirm with the user prior to deleting since they may be referenced by multiple trees and persons.

• Delete Source Description
• Delete Person Source Reference
• Delete Memories

Example Requests

The DELETE to the Group endpoint will remove both the group and the tree. Note: if a group has multiple users, the owner must first remove any additional users prior to calling the method to delete the group and tree.
