The steps for deleting records in salesforce involve the following:
-
Select the Salesforce object whose records you wish to delete. This will be the "root" top-level Salesforce object
and it may contain one or more relationships with other Salesforce objects.
-
Select the records of the top-level Salesforce object to be deleted by specifying the rules for selecting those records.
Once the selection rules have been specified, test those filters to ensure that the desired record set, and only the desired
record set, will be deleted.
-
The Deleted Records step will be the last step in the process. It is more than simply clicking a button to
perform the actual deletion. You will be asked to enter the target org URL which (hopefully) will make you think
before performing a destructive operation in Salesforce.
