Unable to modify/add/delete records directly on the app dashboard data

[A Bhatia]

I have an application with multiple records. In my firebase app dashboard -> data - I am getting following message within a box "Due to the number of records being displayed at this location, the data viewer is in read-only/non-realtime mode to increase browser performance. Click on a key with fewer records to see a realtime view."

I want to delete/edit few records directly from dashboard but it wouldn't let me. How can I resolve this issue?

Can you click on the record (taking you to a data viewer page just for that record) and then edit/delete it?  Or is it still too large?

If it's still too large, you may need to make the edit using one of our APIs, e.g. open the JS console and type:

new Firebase('https://YOUR.firebaseio.com/path/to/edit').set('new value');

Best regards,

Here is a strategy for incremental deletes that may help peeps with extremely big data sets (GB's of data and millions of nodes).

I just ran into this issue as well - dumped 8000 records to Firebase while testing some code and it was incorrectly formatted.

I then needed to delete it all. Using the dashboard would be super-convenient (yes, I can do it from code but just sayin).

A suggestion: Enhance the dashboard to have 'pages' that have a limit to say.. 100 rows of data and allow users to navigate their data in that fashion? If the page is at it's limit then when a user drills down into a node, have it open in another tab or window?

What I did was to remove all values from the node using an OnClickListener in android: 

mCart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        
        mDatabaseReference.removeValue();
        
    }
});
