Hi Everyone 👋 I noticed now that we can delete and duplicate glide tables 🥳 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a40976d564b585cf2338cae8a85274522fc5c866.png) Thank you Glide Team. Really cool! ---

Duplicate table might come very handy in some cases! Thanks for sharing. ---

Delete too…I have WAY too many Glide tables that have been orphaned 🙂 ---

Nice. That will help to keep from making orphan tables. But for ones that are already orphaned, I would hope we would have a way soon to remove those as well… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/5/d5bcf0952da73915244c906a305ba6cd4e047883.png) ---

Yeah, that occurred to me as well. I haven’t tried this yet, but I assume you could add those orphaned tables to an app (any app), and then delete them from within the app. A bit of a clunky workaround, but I’d expect that would work. ---

> [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > then delete them from within the app That is clever if it works. I have hundreds, so it would be nice if they would give us a bulk delete (and a way to check all unused tables). My problem is when I do a lot of changes in a day, I will make a “backup” of my app at the beginning of the day to refer back to in case I mess something up. Every so often I delete those backups. You can imagine how many orphan tables I’ve created by doing that!! ---

And I noticed another one also that if we keep the cursor here ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/e/cea0003d3b8f4be40cc99776eeb11ffbff32f5eb.png) then the apps that linked to this table are showing. ---

> [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > add those orphaned tables to an app (any app), and then delete them from within the app I have confirmed this works. Very tedious, though, with hundreds of tables…
