Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 100
The administrator at Cloud Kicks has been asked to delete a large number of quote line items. They receive a .csv file with the record IDs to be deleted. The administrator uses Data Loader to delete them and selects Use Bulk API. When the job runs, every record shows an 'entity is deleted' error in the error file that is created.
What is the reason for the error?
Answer options
- A. One of the IDs in the batch referenced a record that was in the recycle bin.
- B. Deleting with Data Loader can only be done in Batch API mode.
- C. This is the standard error message when records are deleted using Bulk API.
- D. The batch size selected was greater than the 200 record limit.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because if any of the IDs point to a record in the recycle bin, it cannot be deleted, resulting in the error. Option B is incorrect as Data Loader can delete records in both Bulk and Batch API modes. Option C is misleading since the error is specific to records that cannot be deleted due to being in the recycle bin. Option D is also incorrect because the batch size limit is not the reason for this specific error.
