I am trying to delete a measurement I created but after deleting it there seems to be a new measurement with the name: <measurement_name>-<time_of_deletion>
Not sure what is happening. I tried refreshing and restarting the core as well.
Is this some bug or am I missing something?
By default InfluxDB v3 performs a soft delete so the deleted table lingers for a while. If you want to immediately delete it, consider using hard delete option:
influxdb3 delete table \
--database DATABASE_NAME \
--token AUTH_TOKEN \
--hard-delete now \
TABLE_NAME
I did this but it is still Soft deleting it from the table and even after 72 hours, it’s not deleting completely. Not sure what the reason is but I’d appreciate some help on this. Thanks
I now tried to restart my local DB instance and it seems to have done the GC. Thanks.
