Deleting Queries

Deleting removes a query from the group. Before you delete, it is worth knowing what depends on the query so nothing breaks unexpectedly.

What deletion affects

When you delete a query, the following stop working:

• Its shared link and API endpoint — any external callers will start receiving errors.
• Any dashboard tiles that run the query.
• Any schedules attached to the query.

For this reason, deletion is best treated as permanent and deliberate.

Before you delete

• Check whether the query is shared or used by an API client. If so, update or remove those consumers first.
• Check whether it appears on a dashboard; remove the tile or replace it.
• If you only want to pause use temporarily, consider disabling sharing instead of deleting — that revokes external access while keeping the query.

Alternatives to deleting

• Clone then delete — if you are replacing a query, clone it, adjust the copy, repoint consumers, then delete the old one.
• Disable sharing — keeps the query but removes its public link and API endpoint.

Permissions

Only members with permission to manage queries can delete them. See Members and permissions.
