After removing an event type, the entry is permanently deleted from your configuration panel. The system stops tracking this activity and removes it from your automation trigger menus immediately.

## Troubleshooting

### Delete icon hidden

The delete button does not show up when hovering over the row. This happens because the selected item is a system event. You cannot delete these core properties from your workspace.

### Event still triggers

The event type continues to appear in reports after deletion. This is caused by a temporary browser storage cache lag. You must clear your cache and reload the dashboard.
