Hi Visar,
When you removed all sitelinks from CampaignA, did you do so using the UI?
I ask because it may be that the UI may be simply setting the
CampaignFeed.status
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CampaignFeedService.CampaignFeed#status>
to
*REMOVED* in that case. If so, you can add a predicate in your
CampaignFeedService.get
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CampaignFeedService#get>
request
on *STATUS = ENABLED* to exclude such *CampaignFeeds*.
Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team
