Infinite Pages delete error

Hi. Tried this in an open channel, but no dice. There's no Pages Help forum, so I'll try here, too. Here's the situation: I can't delete an old Pages project. The error says "too many deployments." There's a CF link to a project and npm command that deletes the deployments via the terminal. However, that isn't working, either. https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/known-issues/#delete-a-project-with-a-high-number-of-deployments (I don't really know what version of Pages it's on — two or three.) Error:

I believe I passed the script the right API token, account ID, and project name. Is my only option to try and delete a few hundred deployments by hand? Lol. I can do it, but it's hilariously tragic. More so, if it fails. Any thoughts, ideas, opinions, or better CF scripts?

I followed this https://medium.com/@jaredpotter1/connecting-puppeteer-to-existing-chrome-window-8a10828149e0 , signed it to cloudflare on that chrome instance, and then vibe coded this, but the max I could delete was like 30 deployments before some error from the page being rerendered.

That's a very clever idea. I'll take a deeper look at it later. Thanks.

You may need to turn down the DEPLOYMENTS_PER_PAGE and PAGINATION_BATCH_SIZE variables in the script

abelsj60OP•2mo ago

Another good option — thanks, I'll look at that, too. I'm struggling with some favicons and will look at this afterwards. For the life of me, I'll never understand why favicons are a hassle. In the end, I did a lot of hand deletion until I got it small enough that the dashboard UI worked. It may have been around 100, at some point, I stopped looking too closely. I did try adjusting Walshy's variables, but, even when I set them both to 1, the script still errored out.
