About This Feature

Overview

Delete Data Table is a management action in WPS Office for Android that removes a data table or dashboard you no longer need in a multidimensional table file. It helps keep the file structure cleaner and reduces distraction from outdated content.

Key capabilities include:

  • Delete a selected data table or dashboard from its tab menu.
  • Confirm the deletion before the action is completed.
  • Remove only the selected table without deleting other tables in the same file.

This feature is useful when you clean up test tables, remove duplicate dashboards, organize shared files, or simplify an older project.
