Re: In DHIS 2.27 Issues with deleting organisation unit

 

It might work for you, but I am not 100% sure if that API endpoint will
clear out everything. As you can  see from the SQL function, orgunits may
also have other dependencies, like pivots, charts, user associations, etc.
The deletion handler for orgunits may refuse to remove it,  if the object
is associated with other objects.

It might work in your case, but may not.

Good luck,
Jason
