Why each option
To undo a mistaken data import in Salesforce, administrators should use Mass Delete Records for bulk removal via the UI and Data Loader for a delete operation using the imported records' IDs.
Weekly Data Export is used to export data backups and has no capability to delete or undo imported records.
Mass Delete Records is a built-in Salesforce tool that allows administrators to delete large batches of records for specific objects without needing external tools.
Data Loader supports a Delete operation that can process a CSV file of record IDs, making it effective for reversing an import by deleting the exact records that were loaded.
Data Import Wizard does not have a delete or undo operation - it is only used for importing records into Salesforce.
