Common mistakes.
- A. While Data Loader can delete records in bulk, it requires the administrator to first export the IDs of the records meeting the criteria (e.g., using a report) into a CSV file, then use Data Loader to perform the deletion, which is a two-step process unlike the Mass Delete tool.
- C. The Data Import Wizard is used for inserting new records or updating existing ones, not for deleting records.
- D. Mass edit from lists allows users to update multiple records in a list view, but it does not provide functionality for bulk deleting records based on specified criteria.
