# Fedwiki Delete Site

`fedwiki-delete-site` permanently removes a public federated wiki domain — both the remote folder on the Nextcloud/wiki server and the local `~/Nextcloud/fedwiki/{domain}/` folder. It uses WebDAV `DELETE` directly rather than relying on the Nextcloud sync client, which can be slow or prompt for confirmation on large deletions.

## Usage

```bash
fedwiki-delete-site david.ide.earth
```

By default the script checks that `pages/` is empty and exits with an error if any pages remain — use the merge skill's trash step first to clear them. To delete anyway:

```bash
fedwiki-delete-site david.ide.earth --force
```

## What It Does

1. Checks `pages/` is empty (or `--force` skips this)
2. WebDAV `DELETE` on `fedwiki/{domain}/` — recursive, removes everything including `status/`, `recycler/`, and any remaining files
3. `rm -rf` the local domain folder

HTTP 204 = deleted. HTTP 404 = already gone on the remote (local removal still proceeds).

## Only for Public Wikis

This script only works for public wikis in `~/Nextcloud/fedwiki/`. For private wikis in `~/Music/Guides/Private/` there is no remote to delete — just `rm -rf` the local folder directly.

## Safety

This is irreversible on the remote. Confirm the domain name carefully, and prefer the merge workflow (which moves unique content to a successor and trashes the rest to a recycler) before deleting.
