DNS Command line - delete TXT record?

I'm trying to delete a TXT record from the command line, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. This is for a local DNS block list script I'm working on. All the records are in the form 1.0.0.127.dnsbl.example.com (which would list the IP 127.0.0.1), with an TXT record that gives some details about the block. I can add and remove A records, and add TXT records just fine.

I add the TXT record with:
/usr/local/psa/bin/dns -a dnsbl.example.com -txt "some detail" -domain 1.0.0.127

But
/usr/local/psa/bin/dns -d dnsbl.example.com -txt "" -domain 1.0.0.127 (or with -txt "some detail")
gives "Unable del record in DNS server: unable find DNS record"

The documentation isn't clear at all, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
 
I know it's an old post, but the command syntax is tricky. You may try:

plesk bin dns -a example.com -txt "1.0.0.127" -domain dnsbl

Which should create a record:

dnsbl.example.com TXT 1.0.0.127

Another example, to create a TXT record for SPF:

plesk bin dns -a example.com -txt "v=spf1 a mx ~all"

And one to create a TXT record for DMARC:

plesk bin dns -a example.com -txt "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;" -domain _dmarc
