Is there a way to unlink a Google sheet from an app once the internal Glide database has been completed? ---

An app will always have to be tied to a Sheet, you can change the source sheet but there’s no way to completely use an App with only Glide Tables as of now. I assume that’s because the Logins, Comments, Sales etc. will still have to be written to the Sheet. ---

Hi ThinhDinh, Does the above explanation still hold true because I would like to delete my Google sheet source and have only the internal Glide database? Thanks for your time. Kind regards Francis ---

Hi @Francis_O , I cannot say for sure because I just discovered today the ability to replace a Google Sheet as a source. You could test and confirm the following: - In \>Settings\>Data, there isn’t the option to remove the Google Sheet data source. Not yet. - I have a Glide Table in the app, so to test I tried deleting the _Google Sheet spreadsheet_ (“Delete forever” from trash) and I’m getting an error message from Glide. The original data still seems to be in Glide. Also, the app is not linked anymore to a sheet that’s been deleted so the error message seems to stem from an attempt to reload the sheet or sync with the sheet. ![Screenshot 2021-07-22 00.13.37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/3/731611d47420aa5a38ebce7579d5d0c294ad22de.png) ---

Hi Nathan, So glad you did the same thing I did. I got the exact same results. Unfortunately, for now, it is not possible to delete the Google sheet forever as a source. Maybe later in the future. Thanks a lot for your time, much appreciated. Kind regards Francis ---

Yup, we reached the same conclusion! ---

This is true. Glide Tables only app are available after that comment but at the moment we don’t have a way to move from one state to the other one (Sheets app to GT only app and vice versa).
