Deleting a bucket column doesn’t affect the source fields. Deleting a bucket column from the report preview also deletes it from the Columns section. If you accidentally delete a bucket column, undo the delete action to retrieve it.

1. Edit the report.
2. From the report preview, find the bucket column you want to delete and click **![the more actions icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-analytics-264-0-0-production-enus/295fead5-b71d-4e1c-9886-4af4d53400b6/resources-global/_corporate/images/dropdown.png)** | **Delete Bucket Column**. Alternatively, find the bucket column in the Columns section and click **X**.
3. Click **Save**.

The bucket column is deleted.
