Previewing and deleting records in Data Management Console

Safely delete records from a table without using scripts and without deleting the table by creating one-time delete rules.

Overview of deleting records using one-time delete rules

1. Create a one-time delete rule

   Define a rule for deleting records now or at a later date.

2. Define one-time delete rule conditions

   Define one or more conditions that identify the records to be deleted.

3. Select associated records to delete

   Specify which associated records to delete when the one-time delete rule runs.

4. Schedule or execute a one-time delete rule

   Schedule a date and time to execute a one-time delete rule or execute it after you finish creating it.

5. View a summary of your one-time delete rule

   View a summary of your one-time delete rule and decide whether to activate it.

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 Data Management Console.
