Deleting a dataset

In Cloudera Data Visualization, you can delete a dataset without removing the underlying data in the database.

You can delete a dataset from either the Datasets view or the Dataset Detail view.
  1. On the main navigation bar, click DATA.

    The Data view opens, displaying the Datasets tab.

  2. Find the dataset that you want to delete by either scrolling through the list or using the search function.
  3. On the row of the dataset, click the icon to delete the dataset.

    Alternatively, you can click the dataset to open the Dataset Detail view, then click Actions > Delete.

    The Delete Dataset modal window opens displaying information about the dashboards and visuals linked to the dataset that will also be deleted with the dataset.

    • Snapshot shows an icon indicating whether the artifact is a visual or a dashboard.
    • Title shows the name of the artifact that will also be deleted.
    • ID shows the identification number of the artifact that will also be deleted.
    • Related Visuals / Parent Dashboard(s) list the number of related artifacts and their IDs.
      • For dashboards, Related Visuals include the IDs of visuals contained within the dashboard.
      • For visuals, Parent Dashboard(s) include the IDs of dashboards where the visuals appear.
    • Created shows the creation date of the artifact.
    • Last Updated shows the time of the last modification.
    • Modified By shows the username of the last person who modified the artifact.
    • Workspace indicates where the artifacte is located.
  4. After you reviewed the listed dashboards and visuals, type DELETE in the confirmation text field and click Delete to permanently remove the dataset and its associated artifacts.
