How do I remove data loaded to the wrong Dashboards workspace after a datastream destination change?

Last updated: September 7, 2026

Context

When a datastream is cloned, it inherits the Dashboards workspace binding of the original datastream. If the cloned datastream is later repointed to a different Dashboards workspace, any data already loaded under the old workspace binding will remain there. Soft-deleting the extracts via the API will not reliably remove this orphaned data, because the delete instruction resolves the target workspace from the datastream's current destination — not the one that was active when the data was originally loaded.

Answer

To remove data that was incorrectly loaded into a Dashboards workspace, use the Data Warehouse management page in Adverity. This allows you to filter and delete already-loaded data by Datasource, Datastream, and Date Range — without affecting data in other workspaces.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to your workspace and open the Warehouse section (e.g., https://<your-instance>/workspaces/<workspace-id>/warehouse/).

  2. Filter the data by the affected Datastream and the Date Range for which data was incorrectly transferred.

  3. Delete all records matching that filter. Note that selecting specific individual extracts is not possible — filtering by datastream and date range is the recommended approach.

  4. Once the incorrect data has been removed, re-fetch the data in the affected datastream for the same date range so it is loaded into the correct (updated) workspace.

For more details on managing data within the Data Warehouse, refer to the Adverity Data Warehouse documentation.
