Trackers deletion rules

This guide explains how the tracker deletion system works in AB Tasty and helps you understand the risks involved when removing a tracker and our safeguards.

Trackers help you measure the performance of your campaigns. You can view and manage them from Library > Trackers. Read our dedicated article to learn more about trackers.

To learn how to delete trackers, read our Managing trackers article.

When you delete a tracker, AB Tasty checks whether it’s used in any campaigns and displays a warning to help you avoid disrupting your setup or losing valuable data.

This article explains our safeguard system, which alerts you when the tracker you want to delete is currently in use, helping you avoid accidentally disrupting your campaigns or losing valuable data.

Tracker usage is grouped into three risk levels:

Tracker used in a Live campaign ( ⚠️ High risk)

You cannot delete a tracker if it’s used in a campaign with the Live status.

To delete the tracker, you must either:

• Change the campaign status (e.g. to Paused or Ended)

• Remove the tracker from the campaign’s goal list

This restriction prevents you from disrupting active experiments or losing live performance data.

Tracker used in other campaign states (⚠ Medium risk)

You can delete a tracker that’s used in campaigns with one of the following statuses:

• In QA

• Ready

• Scheduled

• Paused

• Analysis

• Ended

You’ll receive a warning indicating that the tracker is still in use.

We recommend reviewing its usage before deletion. These campaigns may still rely on the tracker, and removing it could affect recent or upcoming analyses.

Tracker used in draft or archived campaigns ( ✅ Low risk)

You can safely delete a tracker if it’s only used in campaigns with the Draft or Archived status:

• Draft: The campaign hasn’t started yet

• Archived: The campaign is finished and no longer active

Deleting the tracker won’t affect any live or historical data.
