Hi, Once an AdGroup has been removed you can no longer mutate any attributes of its Criteria or Ads. You'll encounter an OperationAccessDenied <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/AdGroupAdService.OperationAccessDenied> error if you try to do so. To avoid this error, you can do the following:
1. Use AdGroupService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/AdGroupService#get> to select all AdGroups with Status = 'REMOVED', and store those AdGroupIds. 2. When selecting Ads via AdGroupAdService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/AdGroupAdService#get>, include two predicates: - Status IN ['ENABLED', 'PAUSED'] - AdGroupId NOT_IN [ list of removed ad group IDs from step 1 ] Please note the same applies to campaigns which are removed as well, and you need to use CampaignService.get <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/CampaignService#get> to retrieve campaigns which are removed and use in a predicate to filter out Ads from removed campaigns.
