Deleting Jobs

Last published at: 2024-07-19 21:13:02 UTC

Duplicate Check can take up some storage space in your Salesforce Organization. One way to clear up storage space is by deleting old jobs from the Job Overview. Once you have reviewed and merged your duplicate records, delete the job from the overview.

You can delete jobs in several ways: delete a single job, select jobs to delete from the overview, or filter out jobs to delete based on certain characteristics (e.g. created before a certain date).  

Delete single jobs, and individual runs of scheduled jobs, via the Job Overview.
Scheduled jobs can be deactivated and deleted in the Scheduled Job Overview‍.
