If you are using a google sheet, then basic columns can only be deleted from the sheet itself. You can’t delete basic columns within the Glide data editor when using external data sources. However, that is not the case with Glide Tables. In that case, you can also delete columns from the data editor.

To delete a column (if it’s an option), you open the sub-menu on the column heading and select ‘Delete’.
