Not at this time Hasan,
HOWEVER, you can delete/edit

all data. Go to your wix account page for that website, top left menu > Select Wix Database. You will be touching the live database. You can select the database and delete rows.

Hi,
thank you Mr. Marti, but I need to delete the same database collection in order to rebuild it correctly. not raw data . mercy

Hi,
Currently there’s no option to delete a DB collection. However, as previously mentioned, you can delete and edit the data. Moreover, you can delete fields and import your data as explained here .

Best,
Tal.

I would also benefit from being able to delete collections

Hey,
You can submit a feature request here .

Thanks,

I think the database manager needs a little more work. I have large amounts of data and it’s quite cumbersome with the current methods available which is a shame as the rest of the service is one of the better I’ve used.

Hi Stewart,
We’ll like to receive your suggestions in the Feature Request forum ,

Too bad those Feature Requests are not being taken seriously…

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.
