To delete events in Mixpanel using the $insert_id, you would typically use the Data Deletion feature. However, the provided knowledge sources do not specifically mention using $insert_id directly for deletion. Instead, they focus on using event names and properties for deletion.Here is a general approach to deleting problematic data: 1. Navigate to the Data Deletion section in your Mixpanel Project Settings. 2. Request an Event Deletion: - Click ‘Request an Event Deletion’. - Select the event you want to delete. - Specify the time range (event time cannot be more than 180 days in the past). - Add any Event property filters if needed. - Validate in the preview that the right data is being deleted. - Submit the deletion request.Data Deletion will be permanent and irreversible in 7 days after submitting. Until that time, you may undo the action. During this intermediate 7-day period, the data in your Deletion request will be automatically hidden from your users.For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the Data Clean-Up documentation.If you need to delete events specifically using $insert_id, and this is not covered in the current documentation, I recommend reaching out to Mixpanel support for further assistance.
