You can delete the data of a Sandbox or Migration environment, for example after a training session or before the next trial run of your data migration. Open Einstellungen > Umgebung (Settings > Environment) and choose the data sets in the section Daten löschen (delete data). Settings, templates and your team stay. For this you need the Administrator role in the environment. Before anything is deleted, a preview shows the number of records for every data set. You remove a whole environment as described in Deleting a Sandbox or Migration environment.
Deleted data cannot be restored.

Data sets

Data sets deleted as well

Some data sets depend on each other: invoices and subscriptions contain products, and every asset has an asset type. Data sets that depend on your selection are therefore deleted with it. The app marks them in the selection and in the preview. Two data sets always take others with them. With the catalogue, customers, subscriptions and documents, plans, features, commission plans, asset types and assets are deleted, and only the billable metrics remain. With the asset types, the assets are deleted. The other data sets only take another one with them when your environment holds data that points at them: An example: if no subscription, no cart and no checkout link in your Sandbox points at a plan, you delete your plans and keep your customers.

Data that stays

The following data stays: the environment with its username (Kennung), its settings, users, roles and API keys, document and email templates, tax settings, sales channels, sender domains, the connections to payment providers and other services, and the formats of your number ranges. Webhook endpoints and the bank accounts of the environment belong to customers, subscriptions and documents. If you still need them, set them up again after the deletion.

Number ranges

If you delete the data set customers, subscriptions and documents, every number range of the environment starts again at the counter a new environment starts with. This applies to invoices, customer numbers, credit notes, dunning letters and all other numbers. Your formats stay. If you entered a counter by hand so that the numbers continue those of your previous system, enter it again under Number ranges.

Files

With the records, their files are removed, for example the PDFs of deleted invoices, and search no longer finds the records. In your own file storage that you set up for the environment, the files stay where they are. Files that the storage locks for a retention period are counted in the result as “Nicht gelöschte Dateien” (files not deleted).

Start and progress

The deletion runs in the background, and the section Daten löschen shows how far it has come, even if you leave the page in between. At the end it shows the deleted records per data set. If the deletion fails, the section shows the reason, and nothing was deleted. If a billing run, a data transfer or another deletion is running in the environment, start once it has finished. If data is added after the preview that would require a further data set to be deleted as well, nothing is deleted. The dialog reloads the preview and marks the additional data sets. Check them and confirm again.
