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 It helps keep the file structure cleaner and reduces distraction from outdated content.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.

| Capability Summary | Lets you delete the current data table or dashboard from its tab menu on Android after a confirmation step. | Excel officially supports deleting a worksheet by right-clicking the sheet tab and choosing Delete, with the published guidance mainly focused on desktop. | Google Sheets officially provides Android steps to delete a sheet from the sheet tab menu. | Notion can delete pages, blocks, and database properties, with Trash retention and restore behavior, but it is not a cell-based spreadsheet sheet workflow. | Acrobat Mobile can delete PDF pages from Organize pages, which is a page-management workflow rather than spreadsheet sheet deletion. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Android flow is centered on data table or dashboard tabs, which fits table-level cleanup in a multidimensional table file. | Compared with WPS: the official page is more desktop-oriented for worksheet deletion. | Compared with WPS: it also offers an Android tab-menu deletion path for sheets. | Compared with WPS: it focuses more on page and database content management than spreadsheet-style tab deletion. | Compared with WPS: the deletion target is a PDF page, not a data table. |
| Official Source | — | Insert or delete a worksheet | Protect, hide and edit sheets | Delete and restore content | Delete pages in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion
If you need to remove a data table or dashboard directly on Android, WPS provides a workflow that is closely aligned with mobile table-level management. Google Sheets offers a similar mobile deletion path for sheets, while Notion and Adobe are better matched to page or PDF page management scenarios.
