How to delete a term from term store using PnP JS

Hello,

 

How can we delete a term from a term store using PnP JS (v2 or v3) in a SPFx solution?


I looked at https://pnp.github.io/pnpjs/sp/taxonomy/ and found nothing,

 

Can you help?

If it is not possible, what is the alternative? Call SharePoint REST API? Call old SOAP web services from javascript?

 

Thanks

    miguelisidoro Try SharePoint REST API if it works for you: 

     

    Endpoint : https://testinglala.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.1/termStore/groups/122d92ab-d7a8-479f-9888-8d4421f8218f/sets/8ed8c9ea-7052-4c1d-a4d7-b9c10bffea6f/terms/b8b3e828-cdf7-46b2-889e-f5f797a05aa3            
Method : DELETE            
Headers : {"Content-Type": "application/json",          
           "Authorization": "Bearer <Bearer Token>"}

    1. TaxonomyClientService is still the way to go? 
    2. SharePoint Managed Metadata Services Rest API
