Bulk Delete and Restore Custom Object Records

Cleaning up custom object records doesn't have to happen one at a time. You can select and delete many at once — with a 60-day window to undo it if you change your mind.

Selecting records to delete

From the object's list view: select records individually, select every record on the current page, or apply a search/filter first and select from the results.

Deleting

1. Select the records you want to remove.
2. Click Delete from the bulk actions bar.
3. Confirm the deletion.
4. Track progress on the Bulk Actions page.

What gets removed

The record and all its field values are deleted, along with its links to notes, tasks, contacts, companies, opportunities, and other custom objects.

Restoring within 60 days

1. Go to the Bulk Actions page.
2. Find the deletion job you want to reverse.
3. Click the three-dot menu and select Restore.
4. Confirm the restoration.

After 60 days, the deletion becomes permanent.

No batching needed for large cleanups

There's no cap on how many records you can select for a single bulk delete or restore job.
