Delete a database

Want to start over? You can delete your database. If you need to delete your database for any reason, you can start over again with a new database.

To delete a database:

• In the right sidebar, click the ⋮ icon next to a database.
• Select Delete database.

Within 5 seconds after deleting the database, you can undo this action by clicking the button at the bottom right of the screen.

Learn more about the undo/redo function.

Snapshots

Snapshots provide a full copy of a database, making it possible to restore a database to that point in time later on. By using a snapshot, you can make backups and protect yourself against accidental loss.

To create, restore or delete a snapshot, click on the icon to reveal the database menu and select the Snapshot option from the dropdown.

View trash

You accidentally deleted a database? No worries! All deleted items stay in the trash for 3 days, after which they’re permanently deleted.

The Trash function within Baserow allows you to restore deleted items from the past 3 days. After 3 days, your data is deleted permanently and can no longer be restored.

To view the database trash:

• Click the vertical ellipses ⋮ icon in the right corner next to the database you want to delete in the sidebar.
• From the pop-up menu, select View trash.
