hi CostlyOstrich36 , sorry, let me make it a bit more clear.

I simply upload a bunch of files as a new dataset using the Python API. Then using the CLI I get a local copy where I remove a few of the files. At this step, I tried both simply removing them from the file-system and then using $ clearml-data sync , and also using $ clearml-data remove . I get an error, invalid status, but the result is the same as I described above: file count was updated, but when I get a new local copy again of the dataset, I get all of the files, so it seems like the removing didn't happen.

Is there a step I'm missing? Is it even possible to remove files from a finalized dataset?
