Salesforce Administrator — Question 549

What happens when you delete a custom field?

Answer options

• A. Custom fields cannot be deleted
• B. The field and its data are permanently deleted
• C. The data in the field is saved and the field is permanently deleted
• D. The field appears in deleted list from where it can be undeleted

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a custom field is deleted, it is not permanently lost but rather moved to a deleted list where it can be restored if needed. Options A and B are incorrect as custom fields can indeed be deleted and their data can be recovered. Option C is also wrong because the data does not remain if the field is deleted; it can be restored from the deleted list.
