All of a sudden in my app I’m unable to delete rows in my glide tables. Am I doing something wrong or is this something on Glide’s backend?

Do you mean as a user on the front-end, with an action/workflow, or as a developer deleting rows in the builder environment?

As a developer. Something is going on with the delete button where when you click it it won’t delete the row. But, I noticed when I hit the delete key on my keyboard and then click the delete key from the pop up there then the rows delete. Just something wrong with the delete button you click in the top right corner of the glide tables.

I’m having the same issue, had to add a delete button into the app to delete a row.

Same issue here. Had to escalate to Glide as nothing on my table has changed since it worked. Hope we get resolution as soon as possible.

* * *

**Team ID:**

- In the Glide dashoard URL, e.g.  
`https://go.glideapps.com/o/VfVzznMzKf1Ud1G34Tsp/`

**App ID:**

- In the Glide builder URL, e.g.  
`https://go.glideapps.com/app/wdLYX3ZgM8pepdY58AVr/layout`

**Description**

- Rows in Glide table remain even after I deleted them in the Data tab of the app.

**How to replicate**

- In the Data tab I try to delete rows from the Players table, I select the rows, press the delete rows button and confirm the deletion. However, the rows remain in the table. Even when I refresh browser, I still see them there. So no deletion is performed.

Same issue here, can’t del anything from any tables.

To be more accurate, select multiple rows & del function is not working.

I think the delete button is new, but I’ve always just used the delete key on my keyboard.

When I select a row and use the button, it doesn’t do anything … and you solve my problem with the del key !!

Neither delete key nor the select row button work for me. It asks “are you sure?” I say yes, then nothing happens

I am unable to delete rows from my glide tables even though I am the admin of the app.

The row:

1. Only has one Row-ID (generated by the table itself)
2. Has no row-owner set.
3. Is not linked to any external sources like google sheet, airtable.
4. The row is linked only to a single app.

I am selecting the rows from the checkbox on the left and deleting them using the “Delete” button on the top right. But nothing happens, the rows still remain on the table.

Yeah you have to use the delete key on your keyboard. Not the delete button in the admin console.
