How to disable Cloud Firestore?

Question

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?

Is there a way to disable or delete it?

There is no way you can disable either Cloud Firestore or Firebase 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 Firebase realtime database project. In this way you'll skip the initial steps.
