Delete base

In the undb platform, users can delete a Base to clean up data collections that are no longer needed. Deleting a Base is an irreversible action, so please ensure you fully understand the consequences before proceeding.

Location of the Feature

  1. Log in to the undb platform and navigate to the Space where the Base you want to delete is located.
  2. In the left-hand navigation panel, find and click on the Base you wish to delete.
  3. Once inside the Base, click the settings icon (gear icon) in the top right corner to access the Base settings page.

Deletion Steps

  1. At the bottom of the Base settings page, you will find a “Delete Base” button.
  2. Click the “Delete Base” button, and a confirmation window will pop up, warning you that this action is irreversible.
  3. If you are sure you want to delete this Base, type the name of the Base into the confirmation window to confirm the deletion.
  4. Click the “Confirm Deletion” button to complete the process.

Important Notes

  • Data Loss: Deleting a Base will permanently delete all data, table structures, views, and any related fields from other Bases. This action cannot be undone.
  • Linked Fields: If other Bases have fields that reference tables within the deleted Base, those reference fields will also be deleted. If these reference fields are used in rollup fields, the rollup fields will also be deleted.
  • System Fields Update: The deletion of a Base will update the system log fields, recording the user who performed the action and the time of deletion.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can I recover a Base after I’ve deleted it by mistake?

    • No. Once the deletion is complete, the data is permanently lost and cannot be recovered.

  2. Can I delete only certain tables or records within a Base instead of deleting the entire Base?

    • Yes. You can manage and delete specific tables or records within a Base without deleting the entire Base.

  3. What impact does deleting a Base have on the API?

    • Once a Base is deleted, all API endpoints associated with that Base will become invalid. Any applications relying on this Base will need to be updated accordingly.
