DELETE VERTEX¶

The DELETE VERTEX statement deletes vertices and the related incoming and outgoing edges of the vertices.

The DELETE VERTEX statement deletes one vertex or multiple vertices at a time. You can use DELETE VERTEX together with pipes. For more information about pipe, see Pipe operator.

Syntax¶

DELETE VERTEX <vid> [, <vid> ...];

Examples¶

This query deletes the vertex whose ID is "team1".

nebula> DELETE VERTEX "team1";

This query shows that you can use DELETE VERTEX together with pipe to delete vertices.

nebula> GO FROM "player100" OVER serve WHERE serve.start_year == "2021" YIELD serve._dst AS id | DELETE VERTEX $-.id;

Delete the process and the related edges¶

Nebula Graph traverses the incoming and outgoing edges related to the vertices and deletes them all. Then Nebula Graph deletes the vertices.
