Hii,
I pushing several visualizations, dashboards, savedsearches and scripted fields using a python script. They altogether fulfill one big functionality, thus I refer them as an application.
Now what I want is to update the whole application.
For this, I have written another python script which deletes each and every object previously created and put the newer ones. This script takes a lot of time as there are several delete rest calls. Also if it fails before complete execution, there are tracing back and rolling back issues.
Thus is there a way in which I can delete these visualizations, dashboards, savedsearches and scripted at once(in other words, upgrade the application in a single go!).

What API are you using to delete and add saved objects?
The [saved object API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api.html) does not provide a way to delete and add saved objects in a single call.
You can create an enhancement request here [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature\_request.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md)

I am using kibana's [Delete Object](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-delete.html) API for deleting the objects and [Create Object](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api-create.html#saved-objects-api-create) API for saving the object.
Thank You
