Manually Force Delete Repository
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In case of attached forks or pull-requests repositories should be archived.
Here is how to force delete a repository and remove all dependent objects


.. code-block:: bash
   :dedent: 1

    # starts the ishell interactive prompt
    $ rccontrol ishell enterprise-1

.. code-block:: python
   :dedent: 1

    In [4]: from rhodecode.model.repo import RepoModel
    In [3]: repo = Repository.get_by_repo_name('test_repos/repo_with_prs')
    In [5]: RepoModel().delete(repo, forks='detach', pull_requests='delete')
    In [6]: Session().commit()


Below is a fully automated example to force delete repositories reading from a
file where each line is a repository name. This can be executed via simple CLI command
without entering the interactive shell.

Save the below content as a file named `repo_delete_task.py`


.. code-block:: python
   :dedent: 1

    from rhodecode.model.db import *
    from rhodecode.model.repo import RepoModel
    with open('delete_repos.txt', 'rb') as f:
        # read all lines from file
        repos = f.readlines()
        for repo_name in repos:
            repo_name = repo_name.strip()  # cleanup the name just in case
            repo = Repository.get_by_repo_name(repo_name)
            if not repo:
                raise Exception('Repo with name {} not found'.format(repo_name))
            RepoModel().delete(repo, forks='detach', pull_requests='delete')
            Session().commit()
            print('Removed repository {}'.format(repo_name))


The code above will read the names of repositories from a file called `delete_repos.txt`
Each lines should represent a single name e.g `repo_name_1` or `repo_group/repo_name_2`

Run this line from CLI to execute the code from the `repo_delete_task.py` file and
exit the ishell after the execution::

    echo "%run repo_delete_task.py" | rccontrol ishell Enterprise-1
