title: Delete / remove data from Firebase Android & Web
body: <p>I have a quick question, I have searched online but I can't find any useful information. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to clear / delete firebase data from Android app and web app without the app being open. For example, I have developed a application and I want the data which is retrieved from Firebase to be deleted at 6:45 every day but the app will not be running at this time.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I can do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myData.parent().setValue(null);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OR</p>
  
  <pre><code>myData.getRef().removeValue();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, if the app is not running then the data does not get deleted.</p>
