deleteDataCollection( )

Deletes a data collection.

Before deleting a collection:

  • Make sure the collection isn't connected to any site pages or elements.
  • You can create a manual backup of a collections with the Backups API, in case you need to restore them later.
  • You can also export a collection to a CSV file with the Data Movement Jobs API, if you want to save the data outside of Wix.

Note: Once a collection is deleted, it can only be restored for a limited amount of time.

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user's permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
