Point → Delete Points

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation deletes points from a specified collection in Qdrant. It allows users to remove points by specifying point IDs, applying filters, or targeting specific shards. The operation supports waiting for the deletion to complete and offers ordering guarantees for the operation's consistency. This is useful for managing and cleaning up vector data in Qdrant collections, such as removing outdated or irrelevant points.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting specific points by their IDs from a collection to maintain data relevance.
  2. Removing points that match certain filter criteria to clean up the dataset.
  3. Specifying shard keys to delete points only from certain shards for targeted data management.

  • Verify that the point IDs or filter criteria are valid and correctly formatted JSON.
  • If using shard keys, confirm they match the shard configuration in Qdrant.
