deleteSavedQueryV2()

Summary

The deleteSavedQueryV2() GraphQL mutation is used to delete a saved query. It will return true if successful, false if the saved query does not exist, and null with errors for other failures.

Similar to this mutation, there is the createSavedQueryFromTemplate() creating a saved query using a YAML template, and createSavedQueryFromPackageTemplate() for creating one from a template in a package. There are also the mutations, createSavedQuery(), copySavedQuery(), and updateSavedQuery() for creating, copying, and updating saved queries. There is also setDefaultSavedQuery() for marking a saved query as the default.

To get a list of saved queries, you could use the repositories() query like this:

graphql

query {
     repositories
      { id, name, 
        savedQueries { id, name, query { isLive } } }
   }

For more information on saved queries, see the Saved Searches (User Functions) reference page where saved queries are discussed. Also, look at the Search Data documentation page as it relates to recent queries and saving queries.
