4.2 DeleteSite

  • Article

The following example demonstrates the protocol client requests and protocol server responses from the Administration Web Service Protocol to delete the site collection.

The protocol client sends a DeleteSite request to delete the site collection.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
     <DeleteSite xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
       <Url>http://server/sites/examplesite</Url>
     </DeleteSite>
   </soap:Body>
 </soap:Envelope>

The protocol server deletes the site collection and responds as follows:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
     <DeleteSiteResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" />
   </soap:Body>
 </soap:Envelope>
