Self-service deletion for Data Cloud Connectors and Datasets

You can now delete Data Cloud Connectors and their Datasets directly from the Data Cloud UI — no more filing a support request for cleanup.

What's new

Delete a Connector from either the Connector list or the Connector detail screen. Delete individual Datasets from the Connector detail screen.

Each deletion opens a confirmation modal with a "Delete associated datasets" toggle:

• Toggle off (default): The Connector is deleted, and its Datasets are preserved — they are detached from the Connector and remain available in data management as Static Datasets.
• Toggle on: The Connector and all of its associated Datasets are permanently deleted.

A typed confirmation phrase is required before any deletion proceeds, helping prevent accidental removals.

Static Datasets

When a Connector is deleted but its Datasets are retained (toggle off), those Datasets become Static Datasets — Datasets no longer attached to a Connector. Static Datasets:

• Continue to appear in data management and remain available for reporting.
• Retain all historical data from the time of detachment.
• No longer receive new data ingestion.
• Hide Connector-only actions that no longer apply.
• Surface the reason ingestion has stopped, so it's clear why the Dataset is no longer updating.

Why it matters

Previously, removing a Connector or Dataset required a support request. This change puts cleanup entirely in your hands — with built-in safeguards to ensure you don't lose data accidentally.
