The following code examples delete a news item by the ID of its master version:

Delete a single news item with the Native API

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.News;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class DeleteSingleNewsItem_DeleteNewsItemNativeAPI
    {
        private void DeleteNewsItemNativeAPI(Guid masterNewsId)
        {
            NewsManager manager = NewsManager.GetManager();

            //Get the master version of the item.
            NewsItem master = manager.GetNewsItems().Where(item => item.Id == masterNewsId).SingleOrDefault();

            if (master != null)
            {
                //Mark the item to be deleted.
                manager.Delete(master);

                //Save the changes.
                manager.SaveChanges();
            }
        }
    }
}

First, you get an instance of the NewsManager class. Then, you get the master version corresponding to the ID. You mark the news item to be deleted by calling the Delete method of the manager with the master version as an argument. Finally, you save the changes.

Delete a single news item with the Fluent API

using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class DeleteSingleNewItem_DeleteNewsItemFluentAPI
    {
        private void DeleteNewsItemFluentAPI(Guid masterNewsId)
        {
            App.WorkWith().NewsItem(masterNewsId).Delete().SaveChanges();
        }
    }
}

First, you get the singular news item facade of the master version with the specified ID. To mark the item for deletion, you call the Delete method. Finally, you call SaveChanges.
