How to delete sourcetype or source ?

[vita86]

Hello, 

I added a file csv in splunk but the name is not correct for sourcetype. And i want to restart. 

now : 

source="test.csv" sourcetype="csv"

I will want : 

source="test.csv" sourcetype="test"

If i do this query, it's correct ? 

source="test.csv" sourcetype="csv" | delete 

it will delete test.csv file please ? 

thanks in advance. 

Regards,

Viat

Thanks for your reply. 

I have this error message : 

Error in 'delete' command: You have insufficient privileges to delete events.

How can I do please ? 

Thanks in advance

Yes, you have to contact your splunk admin and get your user updated with more privileges /  capabilities .

Actually there is no need to delete those events. Just load those again with correct source and sourcetype and then always use those in queries.

Please ask your administrator for help.

source="test.csv" sourcetype="csv" | delete 

That's correct.
