Delete time series data
You can delete time series data to remove incorrect data or to remove old data.
The easiest and fastest way to delete old time series data is to create a rolling window container, from which aging data in partitions can be manually or automatically detached or destroyed.
You can remove the oldest time series data through an end date in one for more containers for multiple time series instances by running the TSContainerPurge function.
You can delete data from a single time series instance in the following ways:
- Delete a single element by running the DelElem function.
- Delete elements in a time range and free any resulting empty pages by running the DelRange function.
- Free any empty pages in a time series instance by running the NullCleanup function.
