Keith Petrillo : Not detrimental, but I have a Data Store that I’m trying to remove (the whole collection), and every time I client Delete, it does nothing. Just an organizational thing more than anything. Any suggestions?

Dylan Pierce : Hi Keith - can you share the ID of the data store you’re trying to delete? It should be available in the URL, most likely looks like ds_********

3

Keith Petrillo : Sure thing, it’s ds_gbuVab

4

Dylan Pierce : Thanks, were you able to delete it? I’m not finding it myself.

5

Keith Petrillo : Nope

Keith Petrillo :

Dylan Pierce : Ah thanks, I didn’t realize it was under an Organization account

Dylan Pierce : I can see the issue, the underlying store itself has been deleted already, but the reference to populate it in the app is still there. The operation is trying to delete what’s already gone, and throwing an error.

9

Dylan Pierce : We’ll get it taken care of.

10

Keith Petrillo : Great, thank you!

11

Keith Petrillo : I think I was playing with it like the day that it was released so probably just an isolated incident

12

Keith Petrillo : So It looks like I can’t delete any data stores, not just one. Another one I tried to delete was ds_v9uMEG, BUT you don’t need to delete this. I’ll end up using it, but just another use-case to look at

13

Keith Petrillo : Heyo, just wanted to check if this could be resolved?

14

Dylan Pierce : Hi Keith, it appears your data stores were made in the very very early stages of when Data Stores were initially released. There were improvements and changes to the Data Store’s structure under the hood. And your current Data Stores that were created very early are still functional, but deleting them appears to be an issue.

15

Dylan Pierce : I can help manually delete these old data stores for you, but the UI is going to give you specifically an error on these older types

16

Keith Petrillo : Great, if you could only delete ds_gbuVab, that would be great

17

Dylan Pierce : Sure, could you refresh and let me know if that did the trick?

18

Keith Petrillo : Yep that worked

19

Keith Petrillo : There’s no way to rename a data store, correct?

Dylan Pierce : At this time no, sorry. And I don’t think that’s been suggested before actually.
