Sergio,
Thanks for your response. In all of my trees, I have only 3 partitions: the
default subdivision partition, the sku partition that I bid on (type UNIT),
and the "everything else" partition, which I've set up to be Excluded,
making it a NegativeAdGroupCriterion, which is also a UNIT type. I can't
seem to delete any of them successfully. Are you saying you're deleting the
default "all products" partition? That partition's ID seems to be shared
among all my adGroups (all my adGroups' default partitions have that same
ID).
If my tree were in an inconsistent state, how would I know? It looks the
same in the UI as it does had I created it in the UI, itself. Would it help
if I posted the C# code I used to create the tree?
