kapa.ai how to delete user profile properties

Please stand by Aditya G. as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. 👋

There are several ways to delete user profile properties in Mixpanel:

You can use the $unset operator in Mixpanel's Engage API to remove specific properties from a user profile: LBKS[ { "$token": "YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN", "$distinct_id": "user123", "$unset": ["property_to_delete", "another_property_to_delete"] } ]LBKSThe $unset operator takes a JSON list of string property names and permanently removes those properties and their values from a profile. Delete Property API

If you're using Python, the mixpanel-utils library provides a convenient people_unset method: LBKSmputils.people_unset(['coins','feathers'], query_params={ 'selector' : '(("Albuquerque" in properties["$city"]) and (defined (properties["$city"])))'})LBKSThis method allows you to unset properties on profiles that match specific criteria. Mixpanel Utils

Various Mixpanel SDKs provide methods to unset properties:

LBKSMixpanel.mainInstance().getGroup(groupKey: "company", groupID: "mixpanel").unset(properties: "employee_count")LBKS

LBKS[[mixpanel getGroup:@​"company" groupID:@​"mixpanel"] unset:@​"employee_count"];LBKS

LBKSmixpanel.getGroup('company','mixpanel').unset('employee_count');LBKS

It's worth noting that each User Profile can contain up to 2000 properties. If you're approaching this limit, you can use the $unset operation to remove unnecessary properties.
