What are some of the things to look out for when bulk deleting data?

2

There are three primary things to look out for when bulk deleting data:

  1. Your update webhooks will trigger on a bulk delete
  2. De-syncing large amounts of data (>= 50,000 objects) takes a very long time for your end-users, which can cause frustration. Therefore it's recommended that if you are bulk deleting more than this, get your users to uninstall/reinstall their apps instead of "de-syncing"
  3. The bulk delete operation will continue until the number of objects == 0. That is, if new objects are being created while a bulk delete operation is in process, the bulk delete operation will delete the new objects and continue deleting objects until the number of objects == 0
