Hello All, I am a super new user to Glide. Still getting my feet wet. I am mocking up an app for our company to see if the sales staff would like to use this SaaS. I copied the Property Management app and editing for our use. After a search in documentation, videos, and here at the community, I can **not** find how to delete or clear rows of data. 😩 In the screenshot below, I would like to clear/delete the data from row 4 down. How do you do this simple task? ![glide](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/0/b0dae93e4dd54c39173757ebc6fae819fe884daa.jpeg) Thanks! Ana ---

Welcome Ana! Hover the mouse at this little square next Row ID column, you’ll realize that you can select a row Select the row you want to delete \> press Delete in your keyboard ---

@ana_lee if you have lots and lots of rows then you could use a robot to delete the rows as described in this post. > [@robot Importing data to Glide by use of robot (RPA)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/importing-data-to-glide-by-use-of-robot-rpa/29008): > > Challenge 1 In this moment of time it is not possible to import data (or paste chunks of data) into Glide. @Manu.n has shown a way to import a row at a time from Google sheets to Glide tables which is quite handy if you have not to much data to import.

Thank you @Lucas_Pires, I have an additional query. Once deleted, is there a way to recover the row(s) in Glide table? I tried Cmd + Z but it didn’t do anything. ---

I just found an issue in the table where if there is no basic data consisting only of row ID and compute column, then the row cannot be deleted. ![Screenshot 2022-03-16 065843](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/1/91f9ec30db2b0a597155461894036996a51f8e3d.png) ---

Works for me. ---

Or the usc column is the cause? I have tried it many times. This is really weird. ---

Also works fine with User Specific columns included. Is it the same if you duplicate the setup in a sample app? If it is, you could do that and then remove the columns one by one until you identify the culprit. ---

After I duplicate it can now be removed. Weird. 🙃 ---
