Can’t seem to find any way of achieving this - would be good to see added to clear up duplicate data. ---

I cannot believe this is not available - any idea why? Had I known, I would not have setup test collections as now I seem to be stuck with them. ---

Agreed. This is critical and I’m unclear why the system would be designed without the ability to Delete. Hopefully it will be fixed soon! ---

Hey! You can finally remove unneeded database collections from your site! No more “NewCollectionName”, “Test” or other typos polluting your database folder. Be aware that removing your collection might have some consequences for your site, so it’s better to remove Dynamic Pages, Datasets, and Reference type fields that are pointing to collection about to be deleted. More details here: [https://support.wix.com/en/article/removing-a-collection-from-your-database](https://support.wix.com/en/article/removing-a-collection-from-your-database) . Happy cleaning!
