Trash and delete data#

You can delete pieces of metadata from individual Neptune runs or objects, or trash entire Neptune objects.

Deleting metadata from objects#

You can delete metadata from runs or other Neptune objects by resuming a connection to it in your code and operating on the namespaces or fields you wish to delete.

For instructions, see Delete metadata from a run.

Trashing objects#

You can trash Neptune runs or other objects:

Through the app, by selecting the objects and clicking Trash in the top-right corner.
Through the API, with the trash_objects() function.

Until the trash is emptied, trashed objects remain in the trash and can be restored.

Emptying the trash#

You can permanently delete the objects in the project trash through the app or with the following management functions:

delete_objects_from_trash(): delete particular objects from the trash.
clear_trash(): empty the trash completely.

For cleaning junk metadata locally, see neptune clear.
