Delete columns

As someone with the system administrator security role, you can delete any custom columns that aren’t part of a managed solution. When you delete a column, any data stored in the column is lost. The only way to recover data from a column that was deleted is to restore the database from a point before the column was deleted.

Before you can delete a custom table, you must remove any dependencies that may exist in other solution components.

1. In the Solutions area of Power Apps, open the solution that includes the column that you want to delete.
2. Open the table, select the Column tab, and then select the column you want to delete.
3. Select Show Dependencies on the command bar to view the Dependent components page.

For example, if the column is used in a form or view, you must first remove the column from those solution components.

If you delete a lookup column, the 1:N table relationship for it will automatically be deleted.
