Sources with the BigML Dashboard

14 Deleting Sources

You can delete your sources from the source view, using the DELETE SOURCE menu option in 1-click action menu or using the pop up menu in the source list view.

A modal window (see Figure 14.2 ) will be displayed asking you for confirmation. Once a source is deleted, it is permanently deleted, and there is no way you (or even the IT folks at BigML) can retrieve it.

You can also delete a source from the source list view. On the 1-click pop up menu that is displayed for each source, you will find an option for deleting. (See Figure 14.3 .)

Note: if you try to delete a source while it is being used to create a dataset you will see an alert that the source cannot be deleted now. (See Figure 14.4 .)
