How can I delete data from my FlutterFlow database?

Before You Begin

FlutterFlow is a UI builder which makes building apps with FlutterFlow more straightforward. You can use the Firebase plugin to connect your FlutterFlow app to a Firebase database.

Please make sure you have a FlutterFlow account and you are also registered on Firebase, with your app and database set up.

If you need to delete data from your FlutterFlow database, follow the steps listed below.

Step 1: Log in to your FlutterFlow Account

Start the process by logging into your FlutterFlow account. Which contains the projects with the data you'd like to delete.

Step 2: Select the Relevant Project

After logging in, navigate to your dashboard containing all your available projects. Select and open the project associated with the data you wish to delete.

Step 3: Navigate to the Database Tab

Once your project is open, go to the 'Database' tab on your navigation pane. This tab is where you interact with the data stored in the database associated with your project.

Step 4: Select the Collection Containing the Data

In the 'Database' tab, you should see the different collections stored in your Firebase database. Choose the particular collection that has the data you want to delete.

Step 5: Browse Through the Documents

After selecting the specific collection, you'll see a list of the particular documents associated with that collection. Browse through these documents to find the specific one you want to delete.

Step 6: Select the Document

Find and select the document containing the data you wish to delete. Upon selection, a 'Delete' button will appear for you to proceed with the deletion process.

Step 7: Delete the Document

Click on the 'Delete' button to eliminate the document. A confirmation dialog box will appear to ensure sure that you indeed want to delete the data. Confirm your deletion.

Please note, deleting data is a permanent action that cannot be undone, so it's essential to be sure before proceeding.

Step 8: Confirm Your Deletion

Once you confirm the deletion, the document, with its corresponding data, will be permanently deleted from the database. Check that the document is no longer in the database.

Step 9: Sign Out of FlutterFlow

After you've confirmed that your data has been deleted, it is best practice to sign out of your FlutterFlow account for safety reasons.

Recap

In conclusion, deleting data from your FlutterFlow database involves:

• Logging into your FlutterFlow account.
• Picking the specific project with the data you intend to delete.
• Navigating to the 'Database' tab.
• Selecting the collection that houses the data you are deleting.
• Picking the document with the data.
• Clicking delete, and confirming the deletion.
• Signing out of your account.

Remember, deleted data cannot be recovered, so only delete data when absolutely necessary.
