Why each option
To delete records from a custom object that meet specific criteria, such as being older than 12 months and having a 'New' status, the administrator should use the Mass Delete Records tool.
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.
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.
