TextAd can still be retrieved even if it was deleted.

[John Geliberte]

I Observed that when i deleted my TextAd and try to get it via API it still can be retrieved, is this a bug by Adwords? or there is a valid explanation on why this is happening?

i expect that if the TextAd is deleted it will can't be longer be retrieve using the API.

Hi John,

Do you have any predicates in your selector that only looks for Ads that are either Active or Paused, not Disabled/Removed? If you don't, please add them and see if you are still getting the deleted Ad.

If you do, can you please send me your SOAP request and response for this call using Reply privately to author?

Thanks,

Anthony
