About This Feature
Overview
Delete View is a view-management feature in WPS Office for Android multidimensional tables. It is used to remove views that are no longer needed and keep the view list organized.
Core capabilities include:
- Delete the current view: remove the active view directly from the current table.
- Keep source records unchanged: deleting a view removes only the display setup, not the underlying records.
- Confirmation before deletion: the app asks for confirmation to reduce accidental actions.
This feature is useful when you want to clean up temporary filtered views, organize long view lists, or keep shared tables easier to browse on mobile.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | An Android device that can run WPS Office normally |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office is recommended |
| Network | A network connection is recommended when opening online multidimensional tables or syncing shared data |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, you can remove the current view in a multidimensional table through Tools > Delete View and confirm the action to finish. | Microsoft Lists supports deleting list views, but the default view cannot be deleted directly, and the official guidance is mainly centered on web-based list view management. | Google Sheets on Android supports deleting a sheet, but it does not provide a direct equivalent to deleting a database view. | Notion databases support creating, switching, renaming, duplicating, and deleting views, with separate settings for filters, sorts, and groups. | Adobe Acrobat on Android offers PDF viewing modes such as continuous, single-page, and reading mode, but it does not provide a comparable database-view deletion feature. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Android entry path is direct for quick mobile cleanup. Distinct: deleting a view removes only the view setup and keeps table records unchanged. | Compared with WPS: view deletion is supported, but default-view restrictions are more explicit and the mobile entry path is not the focus of the official page. | Compared with WPS: the official Android workflow is about deleting a sheet rather than deleting a database view, so the feature type is different. | Compared with WPS: database view controls are broader, but the official help page does not focus on a dedicated Android entry path. | Compared with WPS: the product focus is PDF viewing and file handling rather than multidimensional table view management. |
| Official Source | — | Delete a list view | Protect, hide & edit sheets - Android | Views, filters, sorts & groups | Choose PDF viewing modes in Acrobat on mobile |
Overall Conclusion
If you need to clean up multidimensional table views quickly on Android, WPS provides a direct mobile path and keeps the underlying records unchanged. For teams that need broader database view configuration, Notion offers more view-level controls. Google Sheets and Adobe Acrobat are not direct matches for this specific view-management task.

| 4 | Reduce wrong view selection | Daily users | Similar view names make it easy to open the wrong one | Delete invalid or duplicate views |
