The idea of Thomas is an option to only delete *terminal* pages located in
the space with a depth of 1. Said differently, the direct and terminal
children of the page.
This way, you can delete all data located in the space without removing the
code (because the code would be located in a deeper depth), but it works
only if the app generates data as terminal pages. It is the case right now,
but new apps should work differently and create their data as regular
Nested Pages.
That is why I don't think it's the correct way to go.
We need this option: delete this page and its children *except* the "Code"
page and its children. This option could be proposed by the app itself, as
a "clean data" functionality.
The other solution is to not change the current best practices and let the
code in an other space.
I think what I like best is some option in the
refactoring API to
indicate that you want to delete only final documents in the space (so
skipping space home page and spaces).
That could be interesting for some use cases but it’s risky for this one.
Several apps may generate terminal pages and users could create terminal
pages in app spaces too. So that would not just remove the app technical
pages, it could remove more.
Thanks

my proposal, it’s actually an additional proposal, so I guess
you agree about the 2 rules? (you didn’t mention anything about rule 2).
