Why didn't the Prussians or Germans use cannons to blow up the barricades or walls of Paris during the siege of the Paris Commune?

Came up in a history class I'm in, teacher didn't have the answer. If the question is incorrect or I don't understand the topic, feel free to correct me.

The Commune had nothing to do with the Prussians in a military sense, so, although the Prussians still had troops in France during the Commune, they weren't involved in the crushing of the Commune, leaving that to the Versailles army to do.
