query query($a: string) {
    query(func: uid($a)) @filter(has(dgraph.type)) {
        uid
        state
        created
        type: dgraph.type
        child_groups @filter(has(dgraph.type)) {
          uid
          state
          created
          type: dgraph.type
          BRC as branches @filter(has(dgraph.type))
        }
      }
      rq(func: uid(BRC)) @filter(has(dgraph.type)) @recurse {
        uid
        created
        state
        type: dgraph.type
        child_groups @filter(has(dgraph.type))
        branches @filter(has(dgraph.type))
      }
    }

Did you read the other post I linked?? You don’t put the uid in your types. And you can’t delete it…

yes, I read it.

Your suggestion really helped.

I have one more question.

I am running this query to recursively delete the node and its all children, it is deleting the children but not deleting itself. Could you guide me on this too?

 upsert {
      query {
        q(func: uid($a)) @recurse {
          uid
          b as branches
          c as child_groups
        }
      }

      mutation {
        delete {
          <$a> * * .
          uid(b) * * .
          uid(c) * * .
        }
      }
    }

$a is the uid.
