## DeleteNodesHistory(IEnumerable&lt;OpcDeleteNodeHistory&gt;)

Deletes raw historical values of the nodes as defined by the `commands` specified using a single history update service request.

```csharp
public IDictionary<OpcNodeId, OpcStatusCollection> DeleteNodesHistory(
    IEnumerable<OpcDeleteNodeHistory> commands)
```

<div class="api-signature" data-lang="vbnet">

```vbnet

    commands As IEnumerable(Of OpcDeleteNodeHistory)) As IDictionary(Of OpcNodeId, OpcStatusCollection)
```

</div>

**Parameters**

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `commands` | [IEnumerable](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.ienumerable-1)&lt;[OpcDeleteNodeHistory](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.client.opcdeletenodehistory/)&gt; | A sequence of [OpcDeleteNodeHistory](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.client.opcdeletenodehistory/) commands, each defining the node and the period of the raw values to delete from its history. |

**Returns**

[IDictionary](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.idictionary-2)&lt;[OpcNodeId](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcnodeid/), [OpcStatusCollection](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcstatuscollection/)&gt;

A dictionary which provides for each node an [OpcStatusCollection](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcstatuscollection/) with the [OpcStatus](https://www.traeger.de/en/docs/development/opcua/api/v2.59/opc.uafx.opcstatus/) instances the server reports for the command.

**Exceptions**

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| [ArgumentNullException](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.argumentnullexception) | The `commands` sequence or one of its items is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
| [LicenseException](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.licenseexception) | The license is expired. |

**Remarks**

In case there several commands refer to the same node, the status results of these commands are combined in the collection of that node in the order of the commands. In case there the server reports no status per value for a command, the collection holds the status of the command for the node instead.

## DeleteNodesHistory(params OpcDeleteNodeHistory\[\])

Deletes raw historical values of the nodes as defined by the `commands` specified using a single history update service request.
