I'm using Realtime Database in Firebase and by accident, I clicked on Cloud Firestore. Since then whenever I want to access Realtime Database it defaults to Cloud Firestore and I have to click and choose the database I'm using, super annoying. Is there a way to disable or delete it?

defaults to Firestore on database click

Is there a way to disable or delete it?

There is no way you can disable either Cloud Firestore or the Realtime Database from your Firebase console. The simplest solution I can think of is to save a bookmark in your browser pointing to:

https://console.firebase.google.com/project/firebaseProjectId/database/yourProjectName/data

You can also copy and paste the URL that you need and it will point directly to your Realtime Database project. In this way, you'll skip the initial steps.

  • Does that mean that I need to throw the current project in GCP away and start fresh with the new project, if I want to have the Firestore disabled again? This doesn't make me particularly happy. – wintermute Mar 06 '23 at 15:12

    @wintermute As the answer states, Firestore cannot be disabled. – Alex Mamo Mar 07 '23 at 11:40
