Remove Unwanted Flows and Data Sources

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 25

How can I remove the Flows or data sources that I am not using anymore from an app? 

 

I was in process of creating an app, and I was testing it with different Flows/data sources. I finalized the app, and no longer need the flows/data sources that I was testing with. But now, I can’t find a way to remove them from the app. This is an issue, since I had a notification in one of the flows at the beginning. But the final version of the app is not using that flow anymore, but every time a user log in, the app is asking the user for authentication for notification.  Flows.JPG

    After clicking 3 dots I don't have "Options" only "Settings" and "Details". There is nothing related to flows in "Settings" and there is a tab for "Flows" in "Details", but from there I can't delete a flow, I don't have the three dots on the right of the flow 😕

    Hi @MKPA

    If you click on the options menu for the app (3 dots) and select "details", you can see the "Connections" and "Flows" that the app is using. The screenshot is from the "Flows" tab.

    Hi @Sahba-S @Mike8 

    Where is this "View" option?

    To delete data sources, you need to return to the home screen. Deleting sources from inside the project doesn't permanently delete them. Go to the connections tab (under 'Data') and you should find all of your connections, even if they are or aren't in use. There, you can click on the three dots and permanently delete them.

    I had same issue. The issue god fixed when I re-created a new flow with same name and export the package.

    Why would you have to delete the control in order to use the flow correctly? Nevertheless, another issue is that you cannot delete collections. You can clear the data in them, but the column definitions will stay the same. That means anything that requires a change to those definitions (such as running a stored procedure using flows) will result in you having to rename the collection entirely and remove references to it in every other function in your app....

    they have added the functionality during one of the upgrades. 

    Go to View and click on Datasources, and you will see a list of data sources and flows used in the app. The option menu (3 horizontal dots) for datasources has the refresh and remove functionality and for flows is has the remove.

    Hello,

    Did you try View --> Data sources ---> click on ... of the flow you want to remove and press remove?
