Salesforce Certified Data Architect — Question 30

Universal Containers (UC) has accumulated data over years and has never deleted data from its Salesforce org. UC is now exceeding the storage allocations in the org. UC is now looking for options to delete unused records from the org.
Which three recommendations should a data architect make in order to reduce the number of records from the org? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Use hard delete in Bulk API to permanently delete records from Salesforce.
• B. Identify records in objects that have not been modified or used in last 3 years.
• C. Use hard delete in Batch Apex to permanently delete records from salesforce.
• D. Use Rest API to permanently delete records from the Salesforce org.
• E. Archive the records in enterprise data warehouse (EDW) before deleting from Salesforce.

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

The correct answer includes A, B, and E because they effectively target the objective of reducing data storage by permanently deleting unused records and archiving data before deletion. Option C is incorrect as Batch Apex is not typically used for hard deletes, and option D, while a deletion method, does not offer the same efficiency or recommendations as the other options.
