Does deleting a Feed delete its underlying feed items

[Seán Hayes]

Hi

Another Ad customizer question. I'm migrating to RSA Ad customizers and had an older data feed that only applied customizers to ETAs. While setting up the RSA Ad customizers I seemed to have hit the account limit for customizers/feed items.

I had deleted the older data feed (i.e. the non-RSA one) a few hours previously, so I am wondering if the underlying feed items it had are still being somehow being considered in the account limit?

I had tried deleting the feed items through a bulk upload file on the data feed page but i get an error saying: "Could not update data set because it has been deleted"

Some clarification would be appreciated.

Hi Seán,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

In the API's perspective and as for feed items, they are generally managed through a different service. That said, you will need to perform a separate deletion request using that said service, to complete the removal of both feed and feed items.

However, since you mentioned deleting the feed items through a bulk upload file, then this indicates that you are using the Google Ads UI instead of the API. For issues encountered through the UI, you may reach out instead to the Google Ads Product Support team via this link, for further guidance.

Now, in the API's perspective once more, you can use the feed_item report to verify whether there are still feed items within your account that require deletion. I hope this helps.

Best regards,
