Method: projects.locations.products.purge

Asynchronous API to delete all Products in a ProductSet or all Products that are in no ProductSet.

If a Product is a member of the specified ProductSet in addition to other ProductSets, the Product will still be deleted.

It is recommended to not delete the specified ProductSet until after this operation has completed. It is also recommended to not add any of the Products involved in the batch delete to a new ProductSet while this operation is running because those Products may still end up deleted.

It's not possible to undo the products.purge operation. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the csv files used in productSets.import (if that was how you originally built the Product Set) before starting products.purge, in case you need to re-import the data after deletion.

If the plan is to purge all of the Products from a ProductSet and then re-use the empty ProductSet to re-import new Products into the empty ProductSet, you must wait until the products.purge operation has finished for that ProductSet.

The google.longrunning.Operation API can be used to keep track of the progress and results of the request. Operation.metadata contains BatchOperationMetadata. (progress)
