This is the second time I have this problem. First time I lost 2 users, including my own when I was working on the app, I just lost access to whatever I was doing and now 15 out of 20 users just vanished from my users table, again including my own, right in front of my eyes.

Did anyone else have this problem? What is happening?  
It’s a disaster

P.S nobody apart from myself have access to be able to delete them or I did not delete them by mistake.

Thanks

I’ve never heard of this happening, so we are going to need more information. Anything you can provide.

- Which plan are you on?
- What data source are you using?
- Have you exceeded any row limits?
- Have you check all of your actions looking for a delete action?
- Have you used the Find All Uses feature on a random selection of columns in your user table to see if any lead to a screen or action you were not aware of?
- Do any other apps share that same user table?
- Do you display a collection of all users in your app and allow editing or deleting of any user row?

Another idea:

- When the data disappeared, did you moments before delete a column with row owners applied to it?

> Nathanael made no mention whatsoever of RowID. He referred to row owners, which is a completely separate thing. There is a known bug where if you delete a column that has row owners applied, sometimes all data in the table will disappear. So I suspect that Nathanael was postulating that you might have triggered this bug. The workaround is to add the column back.
