Hey,

Can someone help on this.

You can delete records from within the Glide Data Editor.  
Select the rows you want to remove by clicking on the far left side, and then hit the delete/backspace key on your keyboard.

You can use shift-select to select multiple rows, or you can select all rows by clicking at the very top left:

So what are you actually asking for help with?

Do you want to know how to recover deleted components?

The only way to recover deleted components is with the Undo action, which can be found at the bottom left of the builder layout view.

This may or may not work, depending on how recently the components were deleted.

I don’t really understand. Deleting data should have no impact on your user interface, as long as you retain the table & column structure (eg. don’t delete entire tables, or the column headers).
