Delete golden records

In this article, you will learn how to delete golden records. Please note that deleting golden records is permanent and irreversible, so carefully consider which golden records you want to delete.

You can delete a golden record in two places:

• On the golden record page – use this option if you want to delete one golden record.

• On the search results page – use this option if you want to delete several golden records at once.

Important! Deleting a golden record is different from deleting data parts or removing records from a data source. When you remove records from a data source, all data parts originating from that source are removed from every golden record in which they are used. Deleting data parts from a golden record allows you to delete specific data parts originating from almost any source in a golden record. In contrast, deleting a golden record means that the entire record is permanently removed.
