Deleting a RTDB

[Bruce Martin]

I want to delete a RTDB that is used by a project I am going to delete. I have found how to delete the project via the dashboard, but can not find a way to delete the whole database using the dashboard. I'm told the DB must be empty first. When I try to delete documents there is no way to delete entire nodes. I must delete each record individually by hand. But there are thousands of records. There must be simpler way, but I can't fine it. I don't want to delete the project leaving an orphan database using my data storage quota.. Can anyone help?

Hi Bruce,

For doing a large deletion from RTDB my suggestion would be to use the Firebase CLI's "database:remove" command:

Thanks Sam

I tried this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>firebase database:remove / --confirm --project acestrader-4be71

But got this:
Error: HTTP Error: 401, Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.

I don't know how to provide the missing data. My project AcesTrader (id: acestrader-4be71) has been suspended by the  API Trust & Safety Team, so I do not have normal access.

Hi Bruce,

If your project has been suspended you probably need to reach out to Firebase support for help deleting this data manually, I wouldn't expect normal tools to work.
