Hi,
I’m running into an issue where I’m unable to delete installed pieces in Activepieces, and I also don’t see an option to do so. Are there any options available to delete a piece, or are there any environment variables that need to be enabled for this?
Hello Karthik, I’m looking for the same option too, nothing found currently implemented in the core code yet.
We can hide a piece, but not uninstall/delete it.
I wonder if just by deleting it from the database directly, in the
piece_metadatatable, if it works as we want

@karthik I can confirm (after testing it on my own)
-
Deleting a piece from piece_metadatatable in database (for all existing versions of this piece)
the piece is not available anymore on the instance of Activepieces (neither for admin and user flows)
Be careful, already existing flows with this unexisting (anymore) piece will be KO I guess
As a user, I can just inform you that it works, but, I’m not sure if it was a good way for doing that, the piece could be still compiled in your app 
(I did’nt see any bugs on my own) -
Reinstall the same piece (same version too), I don’t see any trouble doing that for the moment
piece is available again, and I can use it in my user flows
I hope, it’ll help you 
bye o/

Hello, as of now Activepieces has no explicit UI option for deleting installed pieces from the Platform Admin panel (as seen in your screenshot). You can see the “Install Piece” and “Apply Tags” buttons, but there is no exposed delete option yet. It appears that there are no publicly documented environment variables that would enable deleting either. At the moment, deleting a piece generally requires manual intervention in the database or filesystem (to be done with caution). It might be best to see if they post updates or if anyone else suggests improvements regarding this limitation in their GitHub or community forums.
