# Delete Salesforce Data
The following articles describe using **Single DataLoader** to delete data from Salesforce. To delete data, you need a CSV file containing the IDs of the objects to delete. Follow the steps below:
1. Log in to your ARM account.
2. Hover your mouse over the **`DataLoader`** module and choose the **`DataLoader`** option.
3. Click **`Delete`** on the right side of the screen.
4. Choose your [**`Salesforce Org`**](https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/arm/arm-features/dataloader/single-dataloader/broken-reference) and select your org environment (**`Production or Development Edition`**, **`Sandbox`**, or **`Pre-Release`**).
5. The corresponding **`URL`** and **`Username`** are auto-generated based on the selection.
6. Click **`Login and Fetch Objects`** to load all objects from your Salesforce Org.
7. Select the object (e.g., **`Account`**, **`Contact`**, **`Lead`**). Use **`search`** and **`filter`** options to find standard/custom objects.
8. Click **`Next`**.
9. Upload your **CSV** file by clicking **`Upload`**.
10. Confirm the number of impacted records in the popup. Click **`OK`**.
11. Prepare field mappings to match your CSV fields with Salesforce fields.
12. Use **`Automap`** to auto-match fields by name.
13. View the number of mapped vs. total fields below the Automap checkbox.
14. Use **`search`** to locate fields and **`Filter`** to narrow down:
* **All** – Displays all fields.
* **Mapped** – Only mapped fields.
* **Unmapped** – Only unmapped fields.
15. Ensure all required fields are mapped, then click **`Next`**.
16. On the **`Process Summary`** screen:
* Name the process/job.
* Select or create a **Category**.
* Review the Object, Type (**Delete**), and impacted Records.
17. Schedule tasks as **Daily**, **Weekly**, or **On-demand**.
18. Click **`Save`** to save and run later.
19. Your job appears at the top in the **`DataLoader Summary`** screen.
20. Click **`Run`** to execute the job manually.
21. Choose criteria for running the DataLoader job:
| Configurations | Descriptions |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Batch Size** | Used when Bulk API is not selected. Ideal for small-volume real-time processing. |
| **Use UTF-8** | Use UTF-8 encoding unless data contains non-English alphabets. |
22. Click **`Run`**.
23. The **`Results of Last Run`** section shows live updates of successful and failed record deletions. You can view/download records in CSV format.
