⚠️ Before you start

• You need admin rights in your workspace

• This action is permanent and cannot be undone

• Deleting a pipeline does not delete the source connection

• Pipeline tokens consumed so far still count towards your usage after deletion

Delete vs. Truncate, what is the difference?

The Danger zone of a pipeline offers two destructive actions. They sound similar but do very different things.

• Truncate Pipeline Data

  Keeps the pipeline itself (configuration, schedule, sync history) but deletes all data this pipeline has synced into the warehouse. The pipeline sync state is reset to its initial state, so the next sync starts from scratch. Use this when you want to re-sync clean data without losing your pipeline setup.

• Delete Pipeline

  Permanently removes the pipeline and all its configuration, including sync history and audit logs. The warehouse data and Data Products are kept by default, but you can choose to remove them too. Use this when you no longer need the pipeline at all.

In both cases the source connection stays intact and can be used to create new pipelines.

Truncate pipeline data

Truncating deletes all synced data from the warehouse, but keeps the pipeline itself. Use this when you want to start the pipeline fresh, for example after fixing a configuration issue in your source system.

What happens when you truncate

• All synced data rows are permanently deleted from the warehouse

• The pipeline sync state is reset to its initial state

• All Data Products using this pipeline are affected, since their underlying data is gone until the next sync

How to truncate pipeline data

1. Navigate to Engineering → Processing → Pipelines

2. Click the pipeline name to open its detail view

3. Navigate to Settings

4. Scroll to Danger zone and click Truncate data…

5. The Truncate Pipeline Data modal appears

   

6. Use the Copy button to copy the pipeline name, paste it into Type the pipeline name to confirm truncation

7. Optionally enable Sync immediately after truncate to start a new sync run as soon as the truncation completes

8. Click Truncate data

Delete a pipeline

Deleting removes the pipeline and all its configuration. The source connection stays, so you can rebuild a new pipeline from it later.

What always gets deleted

When you delete a pipeline, the following is immediately and permanently removed:

• The pipeline and all its configuration

• The sync history and audit logs for this pipeline

Two optional toggles

Unlike deleting a source connection, these toggles are turned off by default. Only enable them if you specifically want to remove data.

• Also delete all resulting data products (default: OFF)

  If enabled, all Data Products created from this pipeline are permanently deleted. All shared access to those Data Products is immediately revoked, all dashboard widgets using those Data Products stop working, and consumers in other spaces lose access immediately. Leave OFF to keep your Data Products and historical dashboard data intact.

• Also delete ingested data from the warehouse (default: OFF)

  If enabled, all data this pipeline ingested into the warehouse is permanently truncated. Leave OFF to preserve historical data after the pipeline is gone.

How to delete a pipeline

1. Navigate to Engineering → Processing → Pipelines

2. Click the pipeline name to open its detail view

3. Navigate to Settings

4. Scroll to Danger zone and click Delete pipeline…

5. The Delete Pipeline modal appears

   

6. Review your toggles (both OFF by default)

   

7. Use the Copy button to copy the pipeline name, paste it into Type the pipeline name to confirm deletion

8. Click Delete permanently

Troubleshooting

The Delete option isn't visible under Options.

You don't have admin rights. Contact your workspace admin.

"Name does not match" and the button stays inactive.

Use the Copy button and paste directly. The name must match exactly, including capitalisation and special characters.

My dashboard still shows data after deletion.

Then both toggles were OFF by default and your Data Products and warehouse data are intact. Widgets continue to show historical data but will no longer receive new syncs.

I want to remove the source connection too.

Deleting a pipeline does not affect the source connection. See Delete a Source Connection to remove the connection itself.

Can I undo a deletion?

No. Once you click Delete permanently, the pipeline is immediately and irreversibly removed.

Will pipeline tokens already used be refunded?

No. Tokens consumed by a pipeline count towards your usage regardless of whether the pipeline is later deleted.

What's the difference between deleting a pipeline and deleting a source connection?

Deleting a pipeline removes only that specific pipeline and its configuration. The source connection remains active and can be used to create new pipelines. Deleting a source connection removes the connection itself and all pipelines that use it. See Delete a Source Connection.
