Delete records matching a filter

This operation doesn’t accept empty filters.

This operation is resource-intensive. You should only use it if you can’t get the object IDs of the records you want to delete. It’s more efficient to get a list of object IDs with the browse operation, and then delete the records using the batch operation.

This operation is subject to indexing rate limits.

Usage
