Stability Level Preview

The deletePersistedAggregation() GraphQL mutation is used to delete a persisted aggregation.

To create a persisted aggregation, use the createPersistedAggregation() mutation. To enable and disable a persisted aggregation, use the enablePersistedAggregation() and disablePersistedAggregation() mutations. To make changes to a persisted aggreation, use updatePersistedAggregation(). To get a list of all persisted aggregations accessible, use the persistedAggregations() query.

Syntax

graphql
deletePersistedAggregation(
     input: DeletePersistedAggregationInput!
   ): boolean

For the input, you would only give the unique identifier of the persisted aggregation to delete. For the results, it will return true if successful; false if not found. It returns FieldValidationException on validation errors.
