Deleting a Data Sandbox

Remove an existing Data Sandbox file from the Data Center.

Prerequisites:

• Access permission of the Data Center module and the Data Sandbox option.

• Permission to remove Sandbox entries.

• (Recommended) Verify that no one still needs this file (e.g., it’s not the current source for ongoing Data Preparation or a reference for documentation).

Steps

1. Open the list Navigate to Data Center > My Connectors > Data Sandbox > Data Sandbox List.

2. Select the Sandbox Locate the Sandbox entry you want to delete.

3. Remove Click the Remove (Delete) icon for that Sandbox. Result: The Remove Data Sandbox confirmation dialog opens.

4. Confirm Click Yes. Result: A notification confirms deletion, and the file is removed from the Data Sandbox list.

Notes & Cautions:

• Downstream assets:

  • Existing Data Preparations, Data Stores, or Data Sheets previously created from this file are not deleted, but they will not receive updates from this file anymore.

  • If you intend to replace the file rather than retire it, use Reupload instead of Delete.

• Audit trail: If your organization requires traceability, capture the Sandbox name and purpose before deletion.

Outcome

• The selected Sandbox file is permanently removed from the list and is no longer available for Preview, Data Preparation, Create Data Store, or Create Datasheet actions.

Troubleshooting

• Remove icon disabled: You may lack permissions, or the Sandbox is locked by policy—contact an administrator.

• Entry still visible after deletion: Refresh the list; confirm you deleted the correct Sandbox.

• Accidental deletion: Recreate the Sandbox and Re-upload the file; re-check any dependent processes.
