To delete the data from a specific column and row, you can use the cbt deletecolumn command

cbt deletecolumn <table-id> <row-key> <family> <column>

Example:

 cbt deletecolumn mobile-time-series phone#4c410523#20190501 stats_summary os_name

There are more example commands in the cbt reference guide.
