How to remove a database from Firebase?

Question

It must be looking in my face, but I don’t see the team. How to remove an unused Firebase database from the console in a new Firebase? And Google did not help with the answer, which is kind of the first.

Answer 1

THIS REMOVES THE WHOLE PROJECT

To delete ONLY the database, simply delete the object / top-level node.

---

Click on your project (white box below, hiding the name):

Then click on the gear icon (settings) and click on "Project Settings":

Scroll down and click on “DELETE PROJECT”:

Answer 2

Another way, if you do not want to delete the project and just the database, is to create a file on your computer empty.json as follows:

 {} 

Then click on ... and "Import JSON"

Then "Browse" and upload an empty file:

You overwrite your database with an empty JSON file, effectively "deleting" the old database.

Answer 3

It is currently not possible to delete other real-time database instances created through the Firebase console.

They have plans to add features, but this will happen in the future. For now, you can see their updates here:

• https://firebase.googleblog.com
• https://firebase.google.com/support/releases

Their support suggested that I erase all data and lock the database to prevent any use as a temporary solution.

Just remember that multiple instances are only possible with a Blaze account.

Answer 4

Looks like Google recently introduced this feature to remove RTDB Firebase. To remove this (after we raised this issue with the Google Firebase team on Firebase RoadShow India 😃).

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to your RTDB Firebase that you want to remove
2. Delete all your data from the database
3. Select 3 points in the upper right corner

4. Click the "Disconnect Database" button

5. After the database is disconnected, click these 3 points again and click "Delete Database".

Hooray!
