About This Feature
Overview
Delete in WPS for macOS is a management feature in multidimensional tables that helps you remove tables, table views, or dashboards you no longer need. It is useful for cleaning up outdated structures, reducing clutter, and keeping collaborative workspaces easier to manage.
Core capabilities include:
- Delete a table: remove an unused table, such as a test table or an expired business table.
- Delete a table view: remove a temporary or duplicate view to keep the left navigation cleaner.
- Delete a dashboard: remove a dashboard that is no longer used for reporting or display.
This feature is useful for project wrap-up, post-collaboration cleanup, and routine maintenance of multidimensional tables in WPS Office on macOS.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS lets you delete tables, table views, and dashboards from the left-side structure panel in a multidimensional table, then confirm the action in a dialog box. | Microsoft Loop supports collaborative pages and components, but the public product page does not describe a deletion flow for table, view, and dashboard objects at the same structural level as WPS multidimensional tables. | Google Sheets supports spreadsheet collaboration and analysis, but its public product page does not describe a structure equivalent to deleting tables, views, and dashboards within one multidimensional workspace. | Notion supports managing database views, and its help content explains views, filters, and sorts for organizing database content. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF workflows, and its public product page does not present a native structure equivalent to multidimensional tables, table views, and dashboards. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS manages tables, views, and dashboards from one left-side structure area with a consistent delete entry, which is practical for workspace cleanup on macOS. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft Loop is positioned more around collaborative pages and components, and the public page does not show one unified delete entry for the three object types covered by WPS. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets centers on worksheets and spreadsheet analysis rather than cleanup of a multi-layer database-style structure. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports database view management, but the public help page focuses on view organization rather than one combined delete structure for tables, views, and dashboards. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is designed for PDF reading, editing, and signing rather than multidimensional table structure cleanup. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is more directly aligned with multidimensional table cleanup on macOS because it covers tables, views, and dashboards in one workspace structure. The other products above focus on spreadsheets, collaborative pages, database views, or PDF workflows, so their public documentation emphasizes different object models.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Pain Point | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Remove test tables | Project admins | Test tables remain after setup or validation | Delete the target table from the More Actions menu in the left panel |
| 2 | Remove duplicate views | Collaborators | Multiple repeated or outdated views make navigation harder | Delete unused table views and keep only active ones |
| 3 | Retire old dashboards | Business owners | Historical dashboards still occupy display space | Delete dashboards that are no longer maintained |
| 4 | Clean up before handoff | Team leads | The workspace structure is too messy before sharing | Remove temporary objects and keep only formal content |
| 5 | Perform routine maintenance | Workspace maintainers | Long-term use creates too many unused objects | Review and delete invalid tables, views, and dashboards regularly |
