Deleting a record from an Archive

Delete an individual archived record

Written by David Martin

You can delete an individual record from a Gearset Archive, for example to action a GDPR or CCPA “right to be forgotten” request. This covers deleting one record at a time from the Archived records tab, using an archived Account record as the example.
​

How do I delete a record from an archive?

  1. On the Archiving dashboard, open the archive the record is in.

  2. Click Archived records.

  3. Choose the object from the dropdown, for example Account, and search for the record.

  4. Select the record in the results list. Its fields and data appear on the right.

  5. Click the ⋮ icon next to Restore record.

  6. Click Delete.

Can I delete more than one record at a time?

Not currently. Archiving removes one record per action, so deleting a batch of records means repeating these steps for each one.
