Hard-deleting objects / deleting revision history

[IceAndSnow]

Hi!

I have recently deleted some objects (events + places) through the web interface, but I notice they still appear in the revision history.
I guess this is intentional, but is there a way I can delete a revision as well? I would like the data to be completely gone.

Ideally it would be possible through the web interface, but since I could not seem to locate it, I wonder if there is an API call I could make to delete a revision? (From the swagger UI it does not seem so, but maybe I am missing it?)
Since I am hosting my own instance of Gramps Web, I have access to the database directly, if needed.

I think it would be really nice with a way to fully delete an object through the web interface, especially considering the personal nature of the information it is normal to store.

Deleting revisions is not possible via the API right now - you have to delete the database rows manually.

Note that revisions can only be accessed by editors and above, so users without write access will not see them. They don't even have the revisions view in the main menu.

Okay. Thanks for the quick reply :)
I ran the following script against the undo.db (deleting all revisions):

delete from transactions;
delete from connections;
delete from changes;

It seems to have worked.
Should I delete data from other tables / databases?
For now, I guess I will run this periodically to ensure deleted data is eventually completely deleted.
I will make a feature request in the gramps-web repo, as I think it is more practical if I can control deletion policy from there (and hard-delete data directly from the UI).

Ok. No, no other tables affected. Please open a feature against gramps-web-api first.
