You can either preview as that user and clear the data in the glide data editor.

> **[Viewing as](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/security-and-per-user-data/preview-as)**
>
> Preview your app as different users will see it

Or, you can delete all data for that user.

If it’s a user specific column, then only the user will be able to clear the value with a button. You can use a Set Column action to Clear the column value for that row.

This option is only per item.

No. I need delete all data of colum. You delete per row.

I think you can’t do like that. You can delete a row in the Database or that item’s value of a column. Like Jeff said.

Or you have to delete that column data manually.

Thank you 😊
