Qlik Cloud: delete Spaces associated to Forts

[Daniele_Purrone]

Some customers might have Spaces associated with deactivated Forts. Since those Spaces contain apps, it's not possible to delete them.

Resolution

1. Install and configure the QlikCli
2. In a command prompt run (replacing SPACEID with the actual spaceId😞
   

   qlik item ls --spaceId SPACEID

3. For each of the apps (and other items) contained in the space you will get something that starts with:
   
   [
   {
   "actions": [
   "change_owner",
   "change_space",
   "create",
   "delete",
   "duplicate",
   "export",
   "export_reduced",
   "import",
   "read",
   "reload",
   "share",
   "source",
   "update"
   ],
   "collectionIds": [],
   "createdAt": "2022-10-12T09:02:32Z",
   "creatorId": "creator",
   "description": "",
   "fortressId": "63467e4b6ede1e21c1f4385b",
   "id": "634682a8cc899cfd5b95ac43",
   
   
4. Look at the "id" above and run:
   

   qlik item rm 634682a8cc899cfd5b95ac43 (REPLACE THE ID)​

5. The command above will delete the metadata concerning the app.
   
   The app itself, in theory, won't be deleted. But since it is on a Fort that is no longer available, that won't really matter.
   
   
6. Once the metadata for all apps and items contained in a space is removed, then you will be able to remove the space from the Management console (or using the command line: qlik space rm SPACEID)
