Step-by-Step Guide: Deleting a Row in Airtable

Airtable, a versatile cloud-based organization and collaboration tool, allows users to manage their tasks, projects, and databases with ease. In the user-friendly interface, deleting a row, or a 'record', as referred to in Airtable, can be done in just a few steps. This guide will take you through the simple process of removing a row from your Airtable base to ensure your tables remain up-to-date and clutter-free.

Step 1: Access Your Base

First, open the Airtable base that contains the row you wish to delete. Locate the table within the base where the row is present.

Step 2: Select the Row

Scroll or navigate to the row you want to remove. Click on the row number located to the left of the row; this will highlight the entire row.

Step 3: Delete the Row

With the row selected, right-click to open the context menu. Alternatively, you can also click on the 'Delete record' option available in the toolbar at the top once the row is highlighted. Choose 'Delete record' from the menu.

Step 4: Confirm Deletion

A confirmation dialog box will appear asking you to verify that you wish to delete the row. Click 'Delete' to confirm. If you accidentally delete a row, Airtable offers an 'Undo' feature immediately after deletion, or you can retrieve it from the 'Trash' within seven days.

Tips and Considerations

• Always double-check the data before confirming deletion to avoid losing important information.


• Use bulk actions if you need to delete multiple rows simultaneously, which can be done by holding down the Shift or Command/Ctrl key while selecting the rows.


• Set up permissions and views to prevent accidental deletion of important rows by unauthorized users.

Following these simple steps will help ensure your Airtable bases remain neatly organized and up-to-date with only the records you require.
