https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/new-to-appian/29599/delete-document-smart-serviceHi All, I am using the delete document smart service to delete the documents from the folder. We are passing the document id parameter to delete the document. But it is taking much time. How can I reduce the time it takes to delete the document.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/117917?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Aug 2023 11:31:01 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e0a0b1ec-5d8b-4b73-aa1f-2b481191f69ashivams5867<p>Hi Rahul, Firstly the delete document smart service takes the document type variable only. Second, you can run multiple instansces for multiple documents&#39; deletion.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/117495?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 09 Aug 2023 17:45:34 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:7930081e-4a63-448b-8361-d9c404e0e956Stefan Helzle<p>For what purpose?
