Delete certificates from private Rainmaker cloud instance

[ngorgi]

So I recently registered a large batch of broken certificates on our private Rainmaker instance (using esp-rainmaker-admin-cli) which caused us to hit our node limit, and now I can't seem to figure out any way to delete these nodes. I see from some forum posts that deleting nodes is possible on the public cloud, but it doesn't look like that's the case for private. How can I go about getting rid of this large batch of broken certificates so we can get below our node limit again? If it's any consolation, I remembered to apply a tag to them during upload so I know exactly which ones they are.

The restrictions regarding node certificate deletion on private deployments are linked to business decisions. One option would be to register new certificates with the same node ids, so that they just replace the current ones without affecting your limit. You will have to pass --force during registration. If this is not a feasible solution, please get in touch with esp-rainmaker-support@espressif.com.

Okay I was able to modify the mfg_tool.py script to take in a user specified UUID and then passed it the UUIDs from the "broken" certificates. Then I was able to combine the new working Matter secure_cert.bin with the old functional partition.bin, and now everything works! Thanks for the advice Piyush.
