When using Delete View, the most common questions cover record safety, whether all views can be removed, and what to do after an accidental deletion; this section includes 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Will my data be lost after I delete a view?
- No. Deleting a view removes only that view's display setup.
- The actual records in the table remain available.
- If some filters, sorts, or grouping settings existed only in that view, those settings are removed with the view.
Can I delete every view in the table?
- No. At least one view must remain in the table.
- If only the last view is left, you cannot continue with Delete View.
- If the whole table is no longer needed, handle the table itself instead of trying to remove the final view only.
Can I recover-a-view-after-deleting-it-by-mistake?
- A deleted view cannot be restored directly.
- If the view contained important settings, create a new view again and reapply the filters, sorts, or grouping.
- To avoid repeated setup work, confirm that the view is no longer needed before deleting it.
