# Deleting a Table

Deleting a table will permanently remove the table and its data, which may be difficult or impossible to recover.

Here are the steps for deleting a table:

1. Select the table you want to delete. On the  left side, you will find the **Delete** button.

4. After clicking **Migrate Changes,** the table will be successfully removed from the database.
