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. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/5/d/5db006dc60f0bde7a37ef30cecf751008e25dc73.png) ---

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](https://support.wix.com/en/article/deleting-a-field-from-a-collection) and import your data as explained [here](https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-import-collection-data-in-the-content-manager) . Best, Tal. ---

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. ---

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!
