I create lots of test apps during development. I thought their data would be deleted when I deleted the app. I know this isn’t the case because I see a growing list of table names, all of them repeated over and over again. Loading apps to work on them is starting to take a very long time. How do you actually delete Glide tables as opposed to “Unlink table from app?”

As of now you can’t. There’s a feature request for that here.

> As the owner of an application, I’m using the duplicate function on a regular basis as a backup tool and I’d like to be able to clean up the duplicated glide table references the same way that I do my duplicated spreadsheets periodically so that I don’t get confused and used an out of date reference and don’t have to hunt through hundreds of unused glide table references in the future. (I would be totally lost right now if glide didn’t indicate which were being used - ty)

It’s there in Staging, along with Duplicate tables.  
So fingers crossed, it’s on the way…

haha yeah, me too.  
I have a table with about 50 fairly complex computed columns that I want to duplicate.  
I’m holding off doing it manually on the hope that this might make its way into production soon… 🙏

Delete will also be super useful for cleaning out all the accumulated junk tables.
