What Gets Deleted

When you delete a document:

  • Document record is removed from the database
  • Vector embeddings are deleted from the vector database
  • Processed content is removed from external document stores
  • Parent knowledgebase status is updated automatically

This action is irreversible. The document and all its processed content will be permanently deleted.

If this was the last document in the knowledgebase, the knowledgebase status will change to empty.
