Delete data from a custom Dataverse table

Posted on by chrisr777

We created a Power App with an accompanying Dataverse. I need to delete the test data from all the custom tables used by the application to get ready for production. The only articles I could find online directed my to the Data Management section of Dynamics 365, to create a bulk delete. However, this interface seems to show only the Dynamics tables and not the custom tables here:

If someone can tell me how to truncate the dataverse tables, I would appreiate it.

There is no OOB / custom table filtering on bulk delete. It can run on any table. In that screenshot you provided, you would just click on "Look for" to see all tables in the DB, including custom. Are you sure you're in the right environment?

I'm new to this so likely I'm doing something wrong. But I am launching from the correct environment. From the Power Apps screen (make.powerapps.com) I click on the gear and select "Advanced Settings", then "Data Management" from the Settings dropdown. Checking the "Look For" list, I'm not seeing the custom tables.

The dropdown suggested should be showing a list of all out of the box and custom DataVerse tables, you may have to scroll the dropdown as there are a lot of out of the box tables.

Also, before you hit the 'cog/gear' icon you can try to do an Advanced Find (to the left of the Cog icon), and check if you can see the table in the list from that interface.

I found them. I forgot about a prefix added to the table names. <ugh> Thanks for the help.
