Can I delete a Test Case including all backlinks?
When I (permanently) delete a test case with OSLC links to either a work item in RTC or a requirement, the back-links are not deleted.
When I remove the links afterwards from these items, I get warnings (like " The link from the other server to this server could not be deleted because the other server is not available or communication with it has failed.")
Is there a way to remove all the back-links together with the delete operation of the test case?

Accepted answer
Unfortunately, no. Please see When test plan or case is deleted or copied- RQM should provide an option to remove/add any back-links. (93626).

Form the referenced enhancement request I got the following information/workaround which might be good to know also for others:
There exists an 'OSLC Cleaner Utility' which might be used as a work-around, please see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmOslcQmV2Api#OSLC_Cleaner_Utility and https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmOslcQmV2Api#Additional_Resources.
