Remove a campaign or ad group methods?

[James Pell]

Hi,

Is it possible to remove/delete a campaign or ad group? I can see a pause method in the docs but no remove method.

Hi James,

The only way to remove ad groups or campaigns in scripts is through bulk uploads. Please see this useful code snippet on updating campaigns (it can easily be adapted for ad groups -- see supported entities and columns here). For example, the code below will remove a campaign called 'Test Campaign'.

function main() {  
 
  var columns = [
    'Campaign', 'Action'  //Campaign Name and Action (remove)
  ];

  var upload = AdsApp.bulkUploads().newCsvUpload(
      columns, {moneyInMicros: false});
  upload.append({
    'Campaign': 'Search Campaign',
    'Action': 'remove'
  });
  upload.preview();  
}

To remove many entities, I recommend using Sheets (please see this snippet).
