Deleting records safely in Core UI

Safely delete records from a table without using scripts and without deleting the table by creating and executing delete jobs.

Overview of deleting records safely

1. Mark records for deletion

   Determine which records to delete by creating a delete job.

2. Preview affected records for deletion

   Preview the affected records before you schedule or execute the job. For example, you might want to preview a set of incident records that will be deleted before you delete them.

3. Schedule or execute a job to delete records

   Schedule the job to run later or execute the job immediately.

4. Rollback a delete job

   Use the rollback option in the delete job If you need to restore deleted records after the job has run.

If you must delete a large number of records from a table rather than a selection of records, use the table cleaner option. For details, see Deleting older or unwanted records in Core UI.
