Deleting something from the pages view from last Month

General questions

Hello Matomo community,

I have a problem, I’am tasked with deleting a few entries in the matomo → pages view.

I added a screenshot on what exactly they look like (I retracted the non vital information).

I did not find a solution that deletes the entries from that view. (I know I can hide them with a filter, but I was not able to delete them outright).

I tried to, delete them directly on the DB level, but it seems like that they are in the matomo archive blob (which I dont think I can delete without nukeing everything happening that month).

Is there any way to get those out of matomo?

Thank you in advance and if there are any question feel free to ask me :slight_smile:

P.S.

we are selfhosting matomo with a seperate database server if this is important

As the data would have already been processed for that report it will retain it until the report is processed again. Removing the data manually from the DB might cause an issue as the actions could be linked to other data in the DB. You can force the range to be processed again: How do I tell Matomo to invalidate the past historical reports so they can be re-processed from the logs? FAQ - How to - Matomo Analytics Platform but it might fail with your modifications. It would be best to back up the DB prior to invalidation.
