What is Mass Delete?

The Mass Delete feature enables you to permanently remove multiple Leads from the system at once, rather than deleting them individually.


This tool is useful when cleaning up outdated, duplicated, or irrelevant Leads from your database in bulk.

⚠️ Important Notes:

  • Deleted Leads cannot be recovered. Please review all selected leads before confirming deletion.

  • Users with Manager or Salesperson permissions can perform Mass Delete.

  • We recommend exporting your Leads list before deletion if you need to retain a backup.
