Bulk Delete in GoHighLevel CRM: Unlimited Record Deletion with 60-Day Restore
Managing data efficiently is one of the biggest challenges for growing businesses and agencies. As CRMs scale, so does the volume of records — including outdated entries, test data, and incorrectly imported information.
Until now, cleaning up large datasets was time-consuming and restrictive. Teams had to either delete records one by one or deal with limits that slowed down operations.
That changes with the latest update:
Bulk Delete for Custom Objects, Companies, and Tasks
This new feature introduces a powerful, scalable way to delete records in bulk, with no upper limit on how many records can be removed in a single action.
The Problem Before This Update
Before this release, the deletion process had several limitations that created friction.
1. No Bulk Delete for Custom Objects
Custom Objects did not support multi-select functionality in the list view.
This meant:
Records had to be deleted individually
Cleanup processes were slow and inefficient
Managing large datasets became frustrating
2. Limitations on Companies and Tasks
While Companies and Tasks supported bulk deletion, there was a restriction:
Maximum of 100 records per action
For larger datasets, this required:
Repeating the same process multiple times
Managing records in batches
Increased risk of errors
3. Inconsistent User Experience
Each module behaved differently, making the workflow less intuitive.
Users had to adjust their process depending on the object type, which added unnecessary complexity.
What’s New in Bulk Delete
This update removes all these limitations and introduces a unified, efficient deletion experience.
Unlimited Bulk Deletion
You can now delete:
Custom Object records
Company records
Task records
with no upper limit.
This means:
No batching required
No repeated actions
Faster cleanup of large datasets
Multi-Select for Custom Objects
Custom Objects now support:
Checkbox selection in list view
Bulk actions similar to other modules
This brings Custom Objects in line with the rest of the CRM.
Consistent Experience Across Modules
All three modules now follow the same workflow:
Select records
Perform bulk actions
Track progress
This consistency improves usability and reduces confusion.
Restore Option (Within 60 Days)
One of the most important additions is the ability to restore deleted records.
If something goes wrong, you can:
Recover records within 60 days
Restore associated data
Maintain data integrity
How Bulk Delete Works
The process is simple and designed for efficiency.
Step-by-Step Process
Navigate to Custom Objects, Companies, or Tasks
Use checkboxes to select records
Use the header checkbox to select all records on the page
Click Delete from the bulk actions bar
Confirm the deletion
Track Progress
After initiating the deletion:
The system processes the action in the background
You can monitor progress from the Bulk Actions page
Logs provide visibility into the operation
What Happens When You Delete Records
Understanding what gets removed is important for maintaining data structure.
Removed Elements
When a record is deleted, the system removes:
Associations with Notes and Tasks
Links to Contacts, Companies, Opportunities
Connections with other Custom Object records
Any association labels
What Stays Intact
The actual related records are not deleted.
Only the relationships between them are removed.
This ensures:
No unintended data loss
Clean disconnection instead of full deletion
Restoring Deleted Records
Mistakes can happen, especially when working with large datasets.
This feature includes a safety net.
How to Restore Records
Go to the Bulk Actions page

Locate the deletion job
Click the three-dot menu

Select Restore
What Gets Restored
The system restores:
Original records
Field values
Associations
Association labels
The restore runs as a separate job and fully reinstates the data.
