Deleting Data in TSDB¶
The EnOS Time Series Data Management supports the cleaning of the historical data (wrong data, informal data, or business data that is no longer needed) of assets that is stored in TSDB to release storage resource and reduce data storage costs. With the Data Deletion feature, you can delete the data of specific models, measurement points, and assets in the specified time range.
Note
Deleted data by data deletion jobs cannot be restored. You need to ensure that the specified data can be deleted to avoid data loss.
