Mixpanel does not provide a public API endpoint for deleting individual events directly. Event deletion is typically handled through the Mixpanel UI's Data Deletion tool, which allows Owners or Admins to delete events based on specific criteria (such as event properties or time range), but this is not exposed as a general-purpose API for arbitrary event deletion.If you need to delete events due to issues like PII ingestion, bot traffic, or implementation errors, you should use the Data Deletion tool in the Mixpanel UI. This tool is designed for targeted, project-wide event deletion and is subject to certain limitations (e.g., only for data within the past 180 days, limited number of deletions per month) Data Clean-Up: Deleting problematic data.For deleting all data associated with a specific user (distinct_id), Mixpanel provides a GDPR/CCPA API for user data deletion, but this deletes all data for that user, not specific events End User Data Management.If you need to remove or correct large amounts of event data, Mixpanel recommends an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) approach: export the data, clean it, and re-import it under a new event name, then hide or drop the original event Data Clean-Up FAQ.In summary: - There is no public API for deleting arbitrary events. - Use the Data Deletion tool in the UI for targeted event deletion. - Use the GDPR/CCPA API for deleting all data for specific users. - For complex cases, use an ETL process to clean and re-import data.If you have a specific use case or need to delete a large volume of events, you may need to contact Mixpanel support for assistance.
