  • You can safely delete records from a table without using scripts and without deleting the table by creating and executing delete jobs. For example, you might want to delete incident records on a test instance without deleting the incident table itself.

    After creating a delete job, you can preview the number of affected records before you schedule or execute the job.

    If you want to restore deleted records after the job has run, use the rollback option in the delete job.

    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 Table cleaner.
