# Delete Selected Records

The Delete Selected Records interaction deletes the records the user has selected in the data table.

## Overview

The **`Delete Selected Records`** interaction deletes one or more Salesforce records selected by the user. Use this interaction only on components that have the option to select items, such as the Data Table.

***

## Configuration

### **On Success**

The interactions to execute when the records are deleted successfully. Accepted interactions are: [Show Toast](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/show-toast.md), [Flow Navigation](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/flow-navigation.md), [Refresh All Queries](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/refresh-all-queries.md) and [Fire Confetti](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/fire-confetti.md).

### **On Error**

The interactions to execute when the record deletion fails. Accepted interactions are: [Show Toast](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/show-toast.md), [Flow Navigation](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/flow-navigation.md), [Refresh All Queries](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/refresh-all-queries.md) and [Fire Confetti](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/fire-confetti.md).

***

### Asking for Confirmation

Because deleting records is a permanent change, you may want to ask the user to confirm before the deletion runs. To do so, nest the Delete Selected Records interaction inside an [Open Confirm](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/open-confirm.md) interaction: the confirmation dialog is displayed first, and the deletion only runs when the user clicks "OK". The nested variant offers the same On Success and On Error settings. Outside of an Open Confirm interaction, use the standard Delete Selected Records interaction directly.

***

## Example

Imagine a Data Table listing open tasks with selection enabled. A header action lets the user select several tasks and delete them in one click. On success, a Refresh All Queries interaction removes the deleted rows from the table immediately, and a Show Toast interaction confirms the deletion. On error, a Show Toast interaction with the `Error` variant surfaces the Salesforce error message.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avonnicomponents.com/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel/delete-selected-records.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
