Hey everyone!

You can finally remove unneeded database collections from your site! No more “NewCollectionName”, “Test” or other typos polluting your database folder.

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/a/b/ab1fb58f393fe537130e0dea78fe68617ec903ea.png)  
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!

Yeah! Finally! Great news Wix! Good job and this will probably affect your servers as well, a lot of deletions will be done. Is there a trash if someone deletes by mistake? 🙂

@Andreas, just create a new collection with the same name – all of your data will be restored. 🙂
