Issue with deleting objects in Sanity.io UI, objects still appear even after deletion.

good mornin....for some reason I cannot delete objects. I deleted them but they still show in the UI. but when clicked the data is all blank for all the objects as tho it was deleted from the db but not from being displayed in the UI for some reason

Hi, are you talking about the front end like Next or Gatsby?

no I mean from the Admin sanity.io front end

Hi User. Could you please post a screenshot or a sample of your JSON? As you’re expecting, an object should be unset when it’s removed.

I"m trying to delete via the sanity UI

one second

each of the objects you see in colors has already been deleted thru the UI

JSON looks like

this is happening for the size collection too

That

_type

is for the document itself. Do I understand correctly that you’re seeing that when you first create a document?

These documents were created using an application i wrote in node...i then came to the UI to delete them so i could rerun the application and now they appear to not be deleted

this is what's left after the delete...it seems the data was deleted but somehow it still shows up in the sanity UI

I think what you’re seeing here is the Studio in its state preparing to create a new document. If this were the old (i.e., deleted) document, it would need to have an

_id

as well.

well i have tried to delete these documents and they do not go away

You’ll see exactly this (just a

_type

) when you create a new document in the studio.

JSON looks like

So the document still exists? Which one are you deleting?

i tried bulk delete to delete all...and i have tried single delete on several of the documents

this is happening for the size collection too

yes they still exist but without the original data

as you can see each document has a title in the UI...but the data does not reflect a title

now i get this...

i cannot even get into my sanity io desktop now

this unhandled error was not happening until just now

That’s a different issue and likely related to this . I will come back to your document issue in a bit.

Thanks for your patience, User. The inability to delete could have been related to that mutations issue. I’d be curious to know what happens if you try now (that issue is resolved).

it works for sure now

Awesome. Sorry about that. Glad you’re back up and running.
