Thread: Deleting Salesforce records

do you have the data loader installed on your computer? you can do what you need to without having to write a script

~Mike

to get the data loader, you login to your instance of salesforce, go to

Setup > Administration Setup > Data Management > Data Loader

You can install it and extract all the Id's from the object that you want to remove the records and then use the same export file and run a delete

Or you could write php extract scripts and store the Id's in a Database and then write a php script to perform the delete.

I suggest the first one


Hope that helps and if not, please do ask more questions

Hi Mike

Thanks for the speedy, helpful reply.
I'll download the data loader and give it a try.
Don't know how I would have found it on my own...any suggestion?

I'm struggling to put all of the puzzle pieces of salesforce together!
Any advice on the most expedient way to know what I need to know!!??

Finally have a handle on what I need to do. Now to figure out how
