Trash and delete data

This page details how to trash and delete data in Neptune. Trashed objects can be recovered, whereas deletion is permanent.

Deleting metadata from runs

You can delete metadata from runs or other Neptune objects by resuming a connection to it in your code and operating on the namespaces or fields you wish to delete.

For instructions, see Delete metadata from a run.

See also Overwrite logged metadata.

Trashing runs

You can trash Neptune runs or other objects:

• Through the app, by selecting the objects and clicking Trash in the top-right corner.
• Through the API, with the trash_objects() function.

Until the trash is emptied, trashed objects remain in the trash and can be restored.
