# Delete records in objects

Using the Salesforce provider's Delete method, you can delete records in a Salesforce object. This is helpful when a data cleanup is needed due to outdated, incorrect, or irrelevant data. It is essential to exercise caution when deleting records, as the action is irreversible. In Jigx Builder use an `action.confirm` with a `modal` to provide a message before deleting the record permanently. Ensure you have sufficient rights in Salesforce to delete a record in an object.

## Examples and code snippets

{% hint style="warning" %}
Examples are based on test data in a Jigx demo Salesforce environment. Copying the sample code must be adjusted to represent your own Salesforce environment.
