In order to delete data from an ODS object, you have several different options. All of these options can be accomplished from the administration of the ODS object . The option you choose depends on your application scenario.

1. If you want to delete entire requests that are incorrect, then choose Delete by Request. With this, requests that are not activated can be deleted from the activation queue, or activated requests can be deleted from the active data table and the change log.
2. If you only want to delete individual fields instead of an entire request, choose Delete Selectively. With this, you can delete data, for example, from a time period that is no longer used. In doing so, only data from the table for active data is deleted, while the change log remains unchanged.
3. If you only want to delete data from the change log, choose Delete from the Change Log. With this, you can reduce the scope of the change log if several requests have already been loaded, and only a limited history needs to be retained. Thus, the data volume of the change log is reduced.
