I have deployed my project in Azure & using Application Insights. After deployment, I have done some test that why some traces wrote in respective Application Insights.

But, I just want a fresh (without any trace) Application Insights without creating a new Application Insights resource.

Is it possible to remove the previous traces from Application Insights? how?

*Application Insights- system monitor & trace/log viewer at Azure.

It's impossible to delete any data. It ll auto-clear after retention policy days (I guess 1 or 2 weeks).

See SO link talking about disabling telemetry while debug/testing.

Btw, You can vote to bring this idea up for implementation.

Update:
The idea of deleting/purging data is completed. Now it’s possible to purge the data from AppInsights.
