Deleting an Application#

Deleting an application is permanent and cannot be undone. Consider archiving or marking as Withdrawn instead.

Overview#

If you made a mistake creating an application or added a duplicate, you can permanently delete it from your database.

Why it exists#

While we encourage keeping records for historical data, sometimes mistakes happen during data entry, and you need a way to clean up your database to keep your metrics perfectly accurate.

How it works#

Deleting removes the application, its notes, and its history entirely from Trackr's servers. This action is immediate and irreversible.

Step-by-step instructions#

Open the application you wish to delete to view its details.
Scroll to the very bottom of the detail view.
Click the red "Delete Application" button.
A confirmation modal will appear. Type the word DELETE to confirm.
Click "Permanently Delete".

Tips#

If you have duplicate entries, copy any notes from the one you plan to delete into the one you are keeping before proceeding.

Best Practices#

Use Withdrawn instead: If you interviewed but decided the job wasn't a fit, do not delete it! Change the status to "Withdrawn." This preserves the record that you got an interview, which is good for your conversion rate metrics.
Only delete mistakes: Reserve the delete function strictly for accidental duplicates or completely erroneous entries.

FAQ#

Q: I accidentally deleted an application. Can Trackr support recover it? A: Unfortunately, no. For privacy reasons, when you delete a record, it is immediately wiped from our databases. We cannot recover deleted applications.
