When using Delete View in WPS on iOS, common questions usually focus on whether data is affected, whether all views can be removed, and what to do after accidental deletion; this section includes 3 frequent questions.
FAQ
Will my data be deleted after I delete a view?
- Deleting a view removes only that view's display configuration.
- Settings such as sorting, filtering, and grouping in that view are removed with the view.
- The actual records in the table remain available in other views.
Can I delete every view in a table?
- No. At least one view must remain in the table.
- If only one view is left, you cannot continue deleting views.
- If you want to remove the whole table, use a table-level deletion action instead of Delete View.
Can I restore a view after deleting it by mistake?
- A deleted view cannot be restored directly.
- If the view contained important settings, create a new view and configure the filters, sorting, or grouping again.
- To avoid repeated setup work, confirm that the view is no longer needed before deleting it.
