Mass Delete Records from Setup

Key Takeaway

One mass delete can remove more data than the rows you select, because deleting a record also deletes the associated records that display on its related lists. By default, deleted items go to the Recycle Bin, so you can still recover them.

Mass Delete Records is a Setup tool that lets an administrator find and delete many records of certain standard types, or many reports, in one action. It exists for cleanup jobs, so you don't have to delete records one at a time.

What you can mass delete

Mass Delete Records can delete these types of records:

  • Cases
  • Solutions
  • Accounts
  • Contacts
  • Leads
  • Products
  • Activities

You can also mass delete reports, but only reports in public report folders. You can't mass delete reports that are attached to dashboards, scheduled, or used in reporting snapshots.

Mass Delete Records does not support custom objects.
