Massive delete

Hello everyone,

 

 

Is there any simple way to schedule a massive delete of a custom object?

 

I want to insert new records everyday, but I want to save time and schedule a massive delete during the night

 

Thanks in advance

Take a look at Batch Apex and Scheduleable Apex. You can create Apex Jobs that do mass deletions according to your schedule.

Hi,

 

You could develop an Apex batch script to be scheduled everynight. The batch script will first select records that meet your criteria, and then delete them.
