Deleting observations from a project I admin?

[Kat Halsey]

How can I delete observations in a project I admin? (I have a student who has entered a lot of incorrect data, which I have tried to help them fix it, but doesn't look like it will happen on their end). How can I delete those individual observations? Thanks for any advice!

You can't delete other people's obs but you can flag issues on the
individual obs under the Data Quality Assessment of each observation.
You can read more under 'Steward you classes data' here

Hi Kat,

If you admin the project, you can also just remove the observations one-by-one from your project. Go to the observation, and on the right side where the projects the observation is a part of are listed, you'll see a little settings wheel on the projects you admin/manage. If you click on that wheel, you'll see the option to remove that observation from your project. See the screenshot I attached.

Hope that helps!

Great, thank you so much, very helpful. They finally got back to me and did remove the observations (incorrect location and not bundled, so they were skewing the counts of the project), which was what I was hoping for, and would love it if they let me help them with new observations, though not sure they are interested.

Thank you!
