If you delete an Analysis, is the data behind it also deleted, or can it be accessed through Web Reports?
I could test this to confirm, but you might as well. Go ahead and create an analysis. Get it to collect some data, Restart the Web Reports service so it builds the new data into the cache quicker. Then delete the analysis, and restart the Web Reports service. Let me know the results.
If you delete the analysis in the console, the data in the database should still be there but the analysis itself is marked as deleted. To see that data, it would need to be reinstated or the analysis would need to be re-added as WebReports takes it’s cues from the database which takes it’s configuration from what the admin does in the console. If the console says to delete the analysis then all that data should be hidden in the WebReports as well.

Thank you for that answer – and it makes sense. Probably, the data is actually still in the DB, but access pointers no longer work to get to it.
