# Schedule or execute a delete job

# Schedule or execute a job to delete records {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Schedule a date and time to execute a delete job or execute the job
immediately.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Consider scheduling the delete job to run during non-business hours to minimize the potential performance impact on your users. Deleting all records in a table temporarily locks the table, which prevents inserts and updates. If
you want to delete all records from a table, use the table cleaner option instead. For more information, see [Deleting older or unwanted records in Core UI](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/bvjInZJ_SkL~Y3BvnBIWCQ "Delete older, expired, or unwanted records from tables automatically.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem Data ManagementDelete jobs.
2. Select a delete job record.
3. Determine whether to schedule the delete job for a later time or run it right away.

## Result

The records are scheduled for deletion or deleted immediately. If you want to restore
the deleted records, see [Rollback a delete job](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/S39RBlvNCOk2PVPkE60WMA "Rollback a completed delete job to restore the deleted records.").
