I use a Python script to export an item to a FGDB, download said FGDB and then delete it. The script successfully deletes the FGDB, but when I go to the AGOL account, it is still there, and I am unable to remove it. When I try to delete the item I get:
And when I try to view the item in AGOL, I get:
Below is my script (some of which I got from another user on this forum, but I can't find the thread):
from arcgis.gis import GIS
from datetime import datetime
from pathlib import Path
from zipfile import ZipFile
import time, os, zipfile
print('Initializing...\n')
gis = GIS(site,user,pw)
print('Logged on...\n')
fs = gis.content.get('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
print(f'Exporting Feature Service to FGDB - {fs.name}')
fs.export(fs.name+'_temp','File Geodatabase',parameters=None,wait='True')
# search for fgdb and get item id
while True:
try:
print('Locating FGDB')
search_fgb = gis.content.search(query=fs.name+'_temp')
print(search_fgb)
fgb_item_id = search_fgb[0].id
fgdb = gis.content.get(fgb_item_id)
break
except IndexError as e:
print(e)
print('FGDB does not exist yet')
data_path = Path('./monthlyDownload')
if not data_path.exists():
data_path.mkdir()
print('Downloading FGDB')
fgdb.download(save_path=data_path)
'''while statement runs until a valid zipped file is created'''
## randomly the output is a 1 KB file that is not a valid zipped file.
## The while statement forces a valid zipped file to be created.
print('Finalizing zip file')
zipfullpath=os.path.join(data_path,fs.name+"_temp.zip")#full path to the zipped file once it is downloaded to your computer
while zipfile.is_zipfile(zipfullpath)==False:
fgdb.download(save_path=data_path)
# delete temp FGDB in AGOL
print('Deleting temporary FGDB')
while True:
try:
fgdb.delete()
except RuntimeError:
break
