Purging/ deleting flags

[matsjs]

Re: Flags / reported (delete flags)

Is there currently a way to permanently delete or purge flags? I found this: https://answers.nodebb.org/help/flag-management but it seems the flag management panel is no longer available.

@matsjs if you are an admin/global moderator then you can find it in the user drop down menu (click your account pic) and hit flagged content

@dunlix Thanks for replying. I am an admin - I can resolve flags but they cannot as far as I can see be deleted. Resolving only changes the flag status. Am I missing somehing?

@matsjs – you're right, there's no way to delete flags. It's mostly because there wasn't a need for it since most clients want to preserve flags for audit purposes.

I can add that API call in, but also in the meantime, perhaps the default view can hide resolved flags...

@julian Thanks for your reply Julian - being able to delete flags would be great! We've got quite a lot of "test" flags cluttering up our interface which whould be great to get rid of.

@julian Is there an issue related to this or should I create one?
