Bulk Delete Custom Object Records

Bulk Delete allows you to remove multiple Custom Object records simultaneously from the list view. This feature helps you efficiently clean up outdated, test, or incorrectly imported records without needing to delete each one individually.

Benefits of Bulk Delete

• Delete multiple Custom Object records in one action
• Clean up records directly from the list view without opening them
• Recover deleted records within 60 days from the Bulk Actions page

How to Bulk Delete Custom Object Records

1. Navigate to the desired Custom Objects section in your sub-account
2. In the list view, use the checkboxes on the left side of each row to select the records you want to delete. You can use the header checkbox to select all records displayed on the current page
3. Click the Delete option that appears in the bulk actions toolbar
4. Confirm the deletion in the dialog box that appears
5. Monitor the progress and view logs on the Bulk Actions page

What Happens When You Delete a Custom Object Record

When you delete a Custom Object record, the record and all its field values are permanently removed. All relationships and associations connected to the deleted record are also removed, including:

• Associations with related Notes and Tasks
• Associations with related Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities
• Associations with other Custom Object records
• Any association labels applied to those relationships

Important: The related Notes, Tasks, Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, or other Custom Object records themselves are not deleted—only the connections between them and the deleted record are removed.

How to Recover Deleted Custom Object Records

Bulk-deleted Custom Object records can be restored within 60 days of deletion. After 60 days, the records are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

1. Go to the Bulk Actions section in your sub-account
2. Find the relevant job row and click the three-dot menu on the right side
3. Select Restore from the menu
4. Confirm the restoration in the dialog box

The restoration process runs as a new job and appears in the Bulk Actions table. Once completed, the records will reappear in the list view with their original field values and associations restored.
