Retrieve QVD file ID

[xyz_1011]

Good Morning all,

this one might be better suited in the API section, but i dont know....I am trying to get the IDs of all QVDs in a given (subfolder) of a space from within my LOAD script. I tried setting up a REST connection (worked) and also giot to see a few QVDs, but these seemed to be only QVDs from my personal folder...Can anyone help 

If this will not work: My ultimate goal is to delete QVDs (using an automation) in a given space based on a list of QVD names that need to be deleted. (I tried that as well, but failed as i need the file IDs for the files i want to delete...which i dont know how to get)

Thanks for any kind of support!

If you use the "List data files (in space)" block (in Qlik Cloud Services), you get all the datafiles present in a space, with their ID.

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks @ift_isabelle.

This does not really work. The situation is: I have a list of QVD files (only the name of them) and i need to find a way to delete those QVDs. What would be the best way to achieve this ?

Like you suggested: With an Automation.
Use a "List data files (in space)" and loop and delete over the QVD's you want.

Not exactly.

I have a bunch of QVDs sitting in a space. Among those QVDs are several QVDs that need to be deleted. I only know the names of the QVDs that i need to delete, but i cant delete them by name (only by ID). So, how to i get to know the ID of those QVDs that are on my list of "to be deleted QVDs" ? Thanks again!
