Deleting a Saved System Data Connection - MS SQL

Brian_Stoffel

Under the tab "Options" then "Advanced Options" and selecting "Manage Data Connections."

 

How does someone delete a "system" connection in Alteryx? The connection type is MS SQL Server. 

 

I accidentally selected "system" instead of "user" as the connection type for a new saved data connection. Normally, when I make an error, I can select delete (trashcan) or change (pencil) to fix the error. 

 

Thanks!

The odd thing is that I can delete other connection types with the "System" type but not MS SQL connections.

You should be able to do this using the ODBC Admin console in windows (Y)

You will need to run Alteryx as administrator

Run Alteryx as Administrator-->Create Input Data-->Connect a File or Database-->Select Saved-->Manage saved connections--Delete/edit "System" connections
