Delete Knowledge Base

Permanently delete a knowledge base and all its associated content including files, URLs, and FAQs.
Permanent Action:
  • This operation cannot be undone
  • All associated content will be permanently deleted
  • Agents using this knowledge base will lose access to its content
  • Rate limit: Maximum 10 requests per minute per workspace

​
Before Deleting

Consider these steps before deleting a knowledge base:
  1. Check Agent Dependencies: Verify no active agents are using this knowledge base
  2. Backup Important Content: Download or note any critical information
  3. Review Usage: Check if the knowledge base is referenced in any campaigns

​
Response

On successful deletion, you’ll receive:
  • message: Confirmation message
  • kb_id: ID of the deleted knowledge base

​
Common Use Cases

  • Cleanup: Remove test or outdated knowledge bases
  • Reorganization: Delete before recreating with updated structure
  • Resource Management: Free up workspace resources
Agent Impact: If agents are actively using this knowledge base, they will immediately lose access. Update agent configurations before deletion to avoid disruptions.

​
Alternative: Edit Instead

Consider using Edit Knowledge Base instead if you only need to:
  • Remove specific files or URLs
  • Update content
  • Add new information
Editing preserves the knowledge base ID and agent associations.
