# Delete Data from Data Streams

When you delete data from a data stream in your workspace within the Delete Data tab, only the measurements are deleted. The dimension values associated with the deleted data aren’t deleted nor are the classification data, dimension-only data, CRM entities, and overarching entities. To delete all data from a data stream, remove the data stream from the Data Stream List.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small ">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="vertical-align:top;" id="d42445e38">REQUIRED USER ROLE</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="REQUIRED USER ROLE" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d42445e38 ">To delete data: </td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d42445e38 ">Admins with Allow Delete Data permissions</td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
