Data Deletion

SyncHive allows you to hard delete or soft delete records from a table in Explore.

Selecting Delete Record(s), Delete Filtered, or Clear Table performs a hard delete, permanently removing records from SyncHive.

Updating a record's isDeleted property performs a soft delete, marking the record as deleted without permanently removing it.

Neither hard deletes nor soft deletes generate outbound integration messages when processed directly from Explore, so connected integrations are not notified when records are deleted.

When a record being hard deleted is referenced by another record, the referencing record's configured On delete action determines what happens:

  • No action: Blocks the deletion until the references are removed or the On delete action is changed.
  • Set NULL: Deletes the record and automatically clears references to it.
  • Cascade: Deletes the record and any records that reference it.

Clearing a Hive​

To remove all data from a hive, with the option to also remove its schema, see Hive Settings > Clear Data.
