Is there a way to update or delete a message in a stream?

[vamshiaruru]

Hi everyone, in nats jetstream, is there a way to update or delete a message? Some youtube video I saw implied the possibility, but I couldn't find any documentation for this. Thanks!

You can not change a message once committed to a stream, but you can delete, and even opt to securely delete a message by sequence.

You can also purge message by subject, including wildcards.

Where can I find the documentation to dleete a message by sequence?

[derekcollison]

Docs or READMEs for the client language of your choice. Or if using the NATS cli, nats stream rmm which will securely delete a message.

I have tried going through go's client documentation to figure out what function to use, but couldn't find the function. But I went through the nats cli code to see what the cli is calling, and that lead me to https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nats-io/jsm.go . So for anyone who is interested, this is the place you have to check.
