Edit or delete a shortcut

After you create a shortcut, you can update its properties or remove it. This article covers both options for shortcuts in a lakehouse or KQL database.

For an overview of shortcuts, see shortcuts in OneLake. To create a shortcut, see Create an internal OneLake shortcut.

Prerequisites

Editing shortcuts requires write permission on the item you're editing. The admin, member, and contributor roles grant write permissions.

Edit a shortcut

1. Right-click the shortcut and select Manage shortcut.

2. In the Manage shortcut view, you can edit the following fields:

   • Name

   • Target connection

     Not all shortcut types use the target connection feature.

   • Target location and Target subpath

     You can edit both fields by selecting the Target location.

   • Shortcut location

   

You can also edit shortcuts by using the OneLake shortcuts REST APIs.

Delete a shortcut

To delete a shortcut, select the ... icon next to the shortcut file or table and select Delete. To delete shortcuts programmatically, see OneLake shortcuts REST APIs.
