Issue

  • After we delete an image that was linked to a document through a structure and it's in the recycle bin, the Headless API is still returning all of its image details in the response.

Environment

  • 7.4

Resolution

  • This is the expected behavior. When an image is first moved to the recycle bin, it is “deleted” in the sense that it can no longer be referenced by other entities in the Portal, however the image entry is kept in the database so that users can restore it from the recycle bin if need be. Therefore if you are making headless API calls the image, data will still be returned.
