Hello!! I did some test cases in Katalon and I’ve run them, so the data from the tests is saved into a website. I want to clean-up the data from the website, but I don’t know how to delete them by using Katalon. I don’t want to use the endpoints. I was thinking that I can erase them by a keyword - all the data that I saved into the platform, has the same name, I thought it would be easier to delete it after I run the tests.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time!

Remember, KS is similar to you being in front of the website. If you cannot delete, then KS cannot delete.
For textareas and input fields, use: WebUI.clearText(TO). To my knowledge, there is no delete method, but clearing text from the fields is practically the same.
For checkboxes and radio buttons, use: WebUI.uncheck(TO).
For selects (drop-downs), use WebUI.selectOptionByLabel(TO, “”, false) (this will work only if a blank option exists for the element)
Then there are the web page’s buttons and options that allow you to clear data from fields.

Delete an execution
In the executions table, click on the extension icon at the end of the execution row, select Delete and confirm your action in the pop-up.
Once you have successfully deleted the execution, it may take a little while for it to disappear from the test executions table.
I understand that you performed some tests in Katalon and backed up the files of these tests on a website, like github or Google, for example.
If this is the case, just access the website or platform and delete the files directly, as every website has its own mechanisms for handling files; and if you’re not getting it, maybe you used the path that doesn’t have permission to delete files…
But, if it’s a test site, or your own site that has a DELETE button, and you want to do your DELETE Test Case; I have a suggestion for you:
Within Katalon, create a routine that 1) looks for the element to be deleted; 2) Look for the EDIT button on the same line as the record you want to delete; 3) Click on the button; 4) Go back to the table and look for the deleted value; if this value is not found: your record has been successfully deleted!
