We are using the Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Portal.SearchParameters to customize a search tool for our end users but it is returning hundreds of records of preinstalled Esri content in multiple languages (ex. Story Map Journal in every language). I would like to be able to delete that content from our Portal or filter it out of the search results. It doesn't appear you could easily filter out all of this content with the available search parameters. Anyone ran into this and have a suggestion?
Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1
You should be able to configure portal to only provide search results in only the language(s) you desire.
The option for that is in portaladmin, and started at 10.3.1.
There's not yet a way to remove the default content that ships with Portal for ArcGIS, however there is an existing enhancement request for this functionality.
ENH-000090864 : Cannot remove pre-existing content from portal for ArcGIS
There's a few posts regarding a similar issue on the portal front end.
Sorry but I couldn't work out how to share or link to it but the topic is 'Remove all the pre-registered "apps" from Portal'.
@ESRI: We're now waiting for more than two years, but still no solution !!!
Also having this problem - we are launching a new Portal 10.6.1 and there are 80 esri_apps items showing in My Organisation. Is there no way to hide them after you've already installed the application?
From another page on the same topic... Remove all the pre-registered "apps" from Portal
Yes I too would like to install a 'clean' Portal without thousands and thousands of items/content already in my Portal.
I am unsure how much of it really is needed.
I am developing a process that may work. Install portal but before you run initial site set up you need to truncate the items and contents files.
...\portal\framework\template
* replaced index.zip with the empty_index.zip
* la_content.zip - emptied the zip
* portal_content.zip - emptied the zip
I ran the site create, no content was in the site but when browsing postgre database with PGadmin found all the tables had records for users/items/content, etc...
** I found data.sql in the templates folder also that inserted all these records.
I truncated the data.sql file as well.
For the most part the Portal is now empty without all the pre-loaded content.
You can also hide the 'Organization' tab by some simple added javascript, so that once the page loads you simply hide the tab so the user never sees it. It's there but not accessible. To share items with the organization as a whole, simply have a new group called 'organization' or 'all' and put everyone in it. I'm still tweaking where I should put the script but it does do the job. I'm sure the same thing could work for the 'gallery' link also.
This issue is addressed in ArGIS Enterprise 10.6.

Hi Randall,
I'm also looking for an update on this enhancement request. Has it been implemented in 10.6? if so, what are the steps? I cant seem to find any reference of the issue when searching for ENH-000090864 on support.esri.com. Thanks.
Hi Randall, has this been actioned yet? We are also having this issue at 10.4.1 - We would like to remove all pre-installed Esri content from the search as our users can't get to it, and it's difficult to find the few organisation published apps we do have. Thanks.
HI Paul,
Not sure why there's not a public reference for ENH-000090864. I'm familiar with this one because I've worked with a few users desiring this functionality - in fact, I actually wrote this issue from the support perspective.
I can follow up. Meanwhile, I'd like to suggest opening up a support ticket to have your organization added to the list of users who would like to see this enhancement implemented. It's not scheduled for 10.4, but is under consideration for port 10.4.
Randall: Was digging around to try to find that enhancement and was not able to find on GeoNet or on ArcGIS Ideas.
Can you provide a link?
Not sure how my searches are missing it... Thanks
