Hi,

I recently noticed that the API to remove timeseries data is not working. It returns that the data has been removed, but it is not removed. Would it be possible to verify the operation? I had noticed this operation using the API directly, but using the console directly it is also possible to replicate the scenario.

Hey @Vander_Maziero,

Would you be able to tell me the time between when those two requests were made?

The reason I ask is that removing data is an asynchronous operation. This operation will take some time, and during that time you will still be able to query the data that you requested to be deleted.

Thank you,  
Heath

Hey @Heath,

In this case, I sent a screenshot of the application’s own console requests, made on the page [https://app.losant.com/applications/60638b202f2e390007e0cc28/devices/60638ba430035200061ba1ab/properties](https://app.losant.com/applications/60638b202f2e390007e0cc28/devices/60638ba430035200061ba1ab/properties). But the data hasn’t been removed now 3h later. And there were only few lines of timeseies data.
