DeleteSecret Method

Deletes a secret.

Syntax

int DeleteSecret(const QString& qsSecretName);

Remarks

This method deletes the secret specified by SecretName. If there are multiple versions of the secret, all of them are deleted.

Note that the secret is only soft-deleted; it can be recovered during the retention period using the RecoverSecret method, or permanently deleted using the PurgeSecret method. The length of the retention period depends on the configuration of the currently-selected Vault, refer to the Azure Key Vault documentation for more information.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
