Mar 6 at 12:30 comment added Elikill58 Now we're in 2024 and it seems we already cannot do that
Jan 12, 2020 at 15:22 comment added Mosh Feu 2020 is here. Is it still in the todo list?
Feb 1, 2018 at 12:13 comment added jrtapsell I've started renaming my old queries [Deleted] to get around this, although it just gives me a load of queries called [Deleted]
Sep 7, 2017 at 7:57 comment added T.Todua ANy News about its availability still?
Nov 18, 2016 at 21:33 comment added Shadow Wizard "this is on the todo list" - is this still the case? Or can this be marked as status-declined so people won't build false hopes?
Jan 31, 2016 at 10:45 comment added Raystafarian Has this been implemented? I came to ask the same question but didn't want to create a duplicate.

Dec 26, 2014 at 22:24 comment added Boann If you want to keep track of executed queries, log them on your side, and delete old logs after 60 days or something. It's not useful to permanently archive and display old broken/junk/test/single-use queries for everyone else.

Apr 29, 2014 at 23:36 comment added duozmo Some people just dislike clutter. It's the reason git has --amend, Gmail (eventually) added Delete in addition to Archive, and Macs have so few ports on the side.
Dec 5, 2013 at 19:49 comment added Pawel Cioch I wish to delete my queries, because I was playing with someone else query, and didn't realize I created "revisions" of his query, it just feel wrong that those queries are available to anyone while it was just learning DB schema. I believe each query run should be private, and only those explicitly "saved" (no option as of today) or those "created" should be available to public after establishing a good query title
Apr 8, 2013 at 22:48 comment added Hoàng Long For some personal reason, I really want to delete queries I have written. It's counter-intuitive that I don't have the right to delete what I create
Feb 14, 2012 at 23:23 comment added Robert Koritnik The real answer is Lack of experience with data explorer so I opened the same thing in the other browser comparing results... I know, but I consider myself an average user, so I suppose this is not a seldom thing. Hence the close/hide/delete feature question.
Feb 14, 2012 at 12:36 comment added Tim Stone I am actually interested in why you created two queries instead of just revising the first one, in case it indicates a problem with the workflow. As far as hiding queries goes, I'm still not really a fan of the idea for various reasons, though waffles may feel differently.
Feb 14, 2012 at 12:21 comment added Robert Koritnik Basically just like questions and answers can be deleted so could be these. Or voted to be closed as duplicates or similar.
Feb 14, 2012 at 12:19 comment added Robert Koritnik Another reason is also that not all queries are usable or even valid. Some of them are worse duplicates that were superseded by a better variant. Take these two for example: a better version and a previous worse one. The better version has all the data plus average data. I would be glad to delete the worse version. Why I created two of them is a different Q but this likely happens to others as well.
Feb 14, 2012 at 12:19 comment added Tim Stone Arguably in that case the solution is just "Don't do that", then.
Feb 14, 2012 at 12:10 comment added Robert Koritnik Well using data explorer you can test whatever query even creating your own temporary data that hasn't got anything to do with any of the StackExchange site. This means that you can write some queries that you don't wan't to be public.
