How to delete mixpanel events

Hi bxor c., Please stand by as I search the Mixpanel knowledge base for an AI-powered answer. I normally take about 15 seconds or so. In case AI cannot answer your question, feel free to reach out to Mixpanel support at mixpanel.com/get-support.

To delete custom events in Mixpanel, you need to navigate to Lexicon. Here are the steps:

1. Navigate to Lexicon. 2. Click on the Custom Events tab. 3. You will see a list of all the custom events in the project. 4. To delete a custom event, check the box beside the title of all the custom events you want to delete. 5. Then click the delete button at the top of the list.

Please note that events in Mixpanel are immutable, which means they cannot be removed. However, they can be filtered out. If there are some events that have been sent in with bots and you can identify those events based on some property value (eg: the device type or location), it is recommended to create a custom event that applies that filter. You can also hide the original event. That way, when you use the custom event, all bot traffic will automatically be filtered out.

Also, Mixpanel has a feature called Data Deletion which allows you to delete noisy or sensitive data from your Mixpanel project. This feature is progressively being rolled out, and may not yet be available for all customers.

To filter and delete events with broken data in Mixpanel, you can use the Data Deletion feature. Here are the steps:

1. Navigate to the Data Deletion section in Project Settings. 2. Click ‘Request an Event Deletion’. 3. Select which event you want to delete. 4. Select time range (cannot be more than 90 days in the past). 5. Add any Event property filters if needed. 6. Validate in the preview that the right data is being deleted. 7. Submit deletion request.

Please note that Data Deletion is irreversible and will be permanent in 7 days after submitting. Until that time, you may undo the action. Ensure that you carefully review and confirm your selections before proceeding. During this intermediate 7 day period, Mixpanel will automatically hide the data in your Deletion request from your users, so they don’t accidentally analyze incorrect or sensitive data.

For more information, please refer to the Data Clean-Up documentation.

The Data Deletion feature in Mixpanel is progressively being rolled out and may not yet be available for all customers. Additionally, access to Data Deletion is limited in certain scenarios:

- If your Mixpanel role is not Owner or Admin. - If your data extends beyond the past 90 days. - If your event volumes are greater than 5 billion events per month, any month over the trailing 3 months. - If you have made 10 deletes over the past calendar month.

If you meet any of these conditions, you may not see the Data Deletion option in Project Settings. If you believe you should have access to this feature and still cannot see it, I recommend reaching out to Mixpanel support for further assistance.

For more information, please refer to the Data Clean-Up documentation.

In Mixpanel, events with an empty distinct_id are excluded from all behavioral analysis. However, the deletion of such events is not explicitly mentioned in the provided sources.

If you have access to the Data Deletion feature, you might be able to set a filter to target events with an empty distinct_id. However, this is not explicitly stated in the provided sources, so it's recommended to reach out to Mixpanel support for confirmation.

For more information, please refer to the Ingestion API and Data Clean-Up documentation.
