Data Deletion

Last updated: April 4, 2026

OpenLakes Harbor provides self-service tools to delete your data at any time. You can delete individual workspaces, remove connectors, or delete your entire account. All deletion actions are available directly from the Harbor dashboard.

All deletions are permanent. Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered. Please export any data you wish to keep before proceeding.

Delete a Workspace

Deleting a workspace removes all associated data, including lakehouse tables, connector configurations, query history, and storage.

1 Navigate to your workspace

2 Open workspace settings

Click Settings in the workspace sidebar.

3 Delete the workspace

Scroll to the Danger Zone section and click Delete Workspace. You will be asked to confirm by typing the workspace name.

What gets deleted:

All lakehouse tables and data stored in object storage
All connector configurations and sync history
All query history and saved queries
Workspace-level credentials and secrets
Workspace member associations

Deletion is processed within 30 days. During this period, the data is inaccessible and cannot be restored.

Delete a Connector

You can remove individual connectors without deleting the entire workspace.

1 Navigate to your workspace

2 Open the connector

Go to Connectors in the sidebar and select the connector you want to delete.

3 Delete the connector

Click the Delete button. This removes the connector configuration, stored credentials, and sync history. Data already ingested into lakehouse tables is not automatically removed.

Delete Your Account

Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, authentication credentials, and all associated data.

Before deleting your account: If you are the sole owner of any organization or workspace, those resources will also be deleted. Transfer ownership first if you want them to continue.

1 Open account settings

2 Delete your account

Scroll to the Danger Zone section and click Delete Account. You will be asked to confirm by typing your email address.

What gets deleted:

Your user profile (name, email)
Authentication credentials (password hash, 2FA configuration, backup codes)
Session data and API tokens
Organization memberships
Organizations and workspaces where you are the sole owner

Account deletion is processed within 30 days.

Request Deletion by Email

If you are unable to access the dashboard, you can request data deletion by emailing privacy@openlakes.io from the email address associated with your account. Include:

Your registered email address
What you want deleted (specific workspace, connector, or entire account)

We will verify your identity and process the request within 30 days.

The following API endpoints support programmatic deletion:

DELETE /v1/workspaces/{id} — delete a workspace
DELETE /v1/connectors/{id} — delete a connector

All endpoints require authentication. See the API documentation for details.
