I would like to be able to delete a specific VM/CT RRD data when removing the VM.

Currently using the API, But I can not see where to go about doing this.

The reason I want this, when we delete a VM and provision a brand new one we would like to have no unrelated historic RRD data when doing fetches for that vm/ct

Is this by any means possible? and if not through the API, is there another way of doing this?
 
Does anyone have any hints I could maybe look at in order to achieve this?

tl;dr I want to be able to clear our old VM graph data on deletion

rrd files are in /var/lib/rrdcached/db/pve2-vm

Do we know if there is a way we can delete those through Proxmox (API or even web) the reason I ask since we have multiple nodes in our cluster and we kind of want to avoid the need to SSH into the node and then run a delete command in terminal. would be much cleaner to be able to delete via the proxmox ecosystem if there is a way

In this folder you have all rdd files from cluster so no need to connect to all nodes to delete files. I don't think there is api way for this - such functionality would be used when you delete vm, but instead it's rrd file live there for ever.
