Cause

The issue occurs only when there are 25 or more versions missing in the sequence, for example, if you are trying to remove around 950 attachment versions and there are 25 versions or more missing in the version sequence.

...

  • Verify that removeAttachmentVersions is used for deleting multiple versions instead of removeAttachmentVersion, which whereas the removeAttachmentVersion deletes only one version of an attachment.
  • Verify the debug logs by appending --debug to the CLI command.

...

Info

Use

  • removeAttachmentVersions for deleting multiple versions of an attachment
  • removeAttachmentVersion for deleting a single version of an attachment
