Hi all,
I have successfully installed and run orthanc server. I can also use curl command to see the instances and studies. However i cannt delete any instances using curl.
When i run the following:
curl -X DELETE http://localhost/dicom-web/studies/1.x…

i get following error.

405 Method Not Allowed

Method Not Allowed

The requested method DELETE is not allowed for this URL.

Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

Can someone help me with this

Regards
Jalaj

Hello,

The DICOMweb standard simply cannot be used to delete DICOM resources:
https://www.dicomstandard.org/using/dicomweb

You’ll have to resort to the REST API of Orthanc to this end:

In your previous message, you wrote:

Check out the bold part: This is DICOMweb. This is not the REST API of Orthanc, cf. the link I sent you:
