# VidiCore Delete Collection Action

This node deletes a specified **VidiCore collection**.

It can be used to remove project-related collections from VidiCore, for example when a collection is no longer required or when cleanup workflows should remove previously created collection structures.

When executed successfully, the node result contains the ID of the deleted collection.

***

#### Configurable Settings

**Async**

Enables or disables asynchronous execution.

**URL**

The URL of the VidiCore system.

Example:

```
https://myVidiCore.com
```

**Collection ID**

The ID of the VidiCore collection that should be deleted.

Example:

```
VX-0
```

Common usage with project collection wildcards:

```
{project.custom.childCollectionVC}
{project.custom.parentCollectionVC}
```

**Ignore Helmut Deletion Lock**

Defines whether deletion locks added by Helmut should be ignored.

If disabled, the node respects existing Helmut deletion locks and may fail if the collection is locked.

If enabled, the node ignores Helmut deletion locks and attempts to delete the collection anyway.

***

#### Node Result

The node result contains the ID of the deleted collection.

Example:

```
{node.result.?}
```

Typical usage:

```
Collection ID: {project.custom.childCollectionVC}
Ignore Helmut Deletion Lock: false
```
