Hey ! Is there a way to completely delete an item from the database from the app ? Just with it’s name ? Thanks !
Just set its value to an empty string in a text block; this will delete it.

I need it to be removed from the database, not just to set it’s value to “”, will it work ?
Yes—I just tested it. When you set the value to an empty string, the entry is deleted from Firebase entirely. Cheers!

Thank you ! Nice day 
Hey @Kyle_Williams, it still is in the Database for me 
Please note that I want to delete the key here not the value.
Thanks !
Try using a ‘null’ block instead of a blank text block. The blank text block seems to only work for child nodes.

Does the same 
The null block (green) doesn’t change anything and the null string does the above
That’s strange, that process is working fine for me. Here is an example app:

You will need to put your own Firebase API and URL in for it to work. Let me know what this application does.

I understand your process, it deletes the value but not the key but what I need to delete is the key 
Anyway I’ll work it up, thanks !
That’s very odd—I swear that it deletes the entire key when I run it, not just the value.
What the hell it’s working now you’re right…Thanks a lot but this live app is a bit buggy sometimes. Sorry for the confusion and thanks again !
