Ho to delete pulp rpm content

Support
#1

Problem:
I have some rpm packages in pulp which are not part of any repository. How can I delete them with cli or API? I didn’t find such option in REST API docu. I thought that “pulp orphan cleanup” will do it but it doesn’t. Any ideas?

Expected outcome:
Remove pulp rpm content

Pulpcore version:
“3.20.0”
Pulp plugins installed and their versions:
{
“component”: “rpm”,
“version”: “3.17.12”,
“package”: “pulp-rpm”
},
{
“component”: “file”,
“version”: “1.11.1”,
“package”: “pulp-file”
}

Operating system - distribution and version:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)

If content is an orphan it will not be considered for removal for 24 hours( by default). When running orphan clean up task try setting orphan_protection_time to 0. Otherwise ensure that content is indeed orphan - for example if it still present in some repo version it will not be removed unless that version is deleted first.

I thought we had the solved [0] plugin installed. I’m not so sure anymore. Do you see a “solution” button next to the “heart” symbol?
