I am using the UI in the workspace. I can use the Data tab to see my tables, then use the delete option through the UI. But I know there are underlying files that contain the tables data. Are these files also being deleted?
If the table is external the files are not deleted. For managed table, the underlying files get deleted. Essentially a "DROP TABLE" command is submitted under the hood.
