Delete Shapes from a Group Shape Introduction This article shows you how to delete shapes from a group shape using Aspose.Slides Cloud API in your applications. DeleteShape method has an optional subShape parameter that allows to specify path to the sub-shape to be deleted. The sub-shape path is a string that contains shape index (e.g., “1”) or a path in case of more than one level of grouping (e.g. “1/shapes/1”).
Examples The second slide in MyFolder/MyPresentation.pptx document contains a single shape. The shape is a group shape consisting of four shapes. Delete the third shape from the group.

SDKs Using an SDK (API client) is the quickest way for a developer to speed up development. An SDK takes care of a lot of low-level details of making requests and handling responses and lets you focus on writing code specific to your particular project. Check out our GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.Slides Cloud SDKs along with working examples, to get you started in no time. Please check Available SDKs article to learn how to add an SDK to your project.
