How do I delete prompts?

An overcrowded prompt library dilutes your visibility data. Knowing when and how to remove prompts keeps your Insights workspace accurate and focused. This tutorial covers how to delete prompts, what happens to historical data when you do, and when editing or reassigning is the better move.

Key takeaways

  1. Prompt deletion is permanent; once removed, AirOps stops tracking the query and historical data may no longer be accessible.
  2. Reports and widgets referencing a deleted prompt may show incomplete data, so review active reports before confirming deletion.
  3. Deleting a prompt does not affect your topic structure; other prompts in the same topic remain untouched.
  4. Consider editing a prompt instead of deleting if the intent is still useful; editing preserves historical tracking continuity.
  5. If you're unsure, leave the prompt in place; it costs nothing and you can always delete later.

Tutorial overview

Your Insights dashboard tracks the prompts that matter to your brand's AI visibility. Over time, some prompts lose relevance. When that happens, deleting them keeps your dashboard focused on what you actually care about.

Before you delete, consider your options. You can edit the prompt text, reassign it to a different topic, or leave it in place for historical reference. These alternatives let you refine your tracking without losing data. Deletion is permanent. Once removed, Insights stops tracking future AI answers for that query, and historical data tied to the deleted prompt may no longer appear in your reports.

Deletion doesn't affect the topic a prompt was assigned to. Your topic structure stays intact, and other prompts under the same topic continue tracking as expected. Use deletion when a prompt is truly outdated or irrelevant.
