Delete and Restore Data

BaseSpace Sequence Hub stores data for sequencing runs, samples, projects, and analyses. You can manage the data in your account and save space by deleting files that you no longer need.

The process to delete data requires two steps: move the data to trash, and then empty the trash. You can restore files that have been moved to trash.

note

The BaseSpace Developers site offers an API to delete base call and related run files (FASTQ and analysis files are not deleted). Use this option to keep a record of a run and its metadata, while reducing storage costs. Contact your IT department or system administrator for assistance.
