How to Delete Email Templates in Bulk?

Email Templates are essential for automating communication across Salesforce — from customer onboarding and support responses to approval notifications and marketing campaigns. But as organizations grow, managing large numbers of templates becomes increasingly difficult.

Salesforce admins often need to:

• Remove outdated templates
• Clean up unused folders
• Delete duplicate templates
• Manage sandbox refreshes
• Maintain organized template libraries

However, Salesforce standard functionality does not support bulk deletion of Email Templates.

This means admins are forced to:

• Open templates individually
• Delete one template at a time
• Repeat the same process repeatedly
• Spend hours on manual cleanup activities

For organizations managing dozens or hundreds of templates, this becomes a major administrative challenge.

That’s where BOFC (Bulk Object Field Creator) simplifies the process. It allows Salesforce admins to delete multiple Classic or Lightning Email Templates in bulk directly within Salesforce — helping teams save time, reduce repetitive work, and maintain cleaner environments.

Why Use BOFC for Bulk Email Template Deletion?

Managing Email Templates manually can slow down release cycles and clutter Salesforce environments.

• Bulk Delete in Just a Few Clicks: Delete multiple Email Templates simultaneously instead of removing them individually.
• Supports Classic and Lightning Templates: BOFC works with both:
  • Classic Email Templates
  • Lightning Email Templates

making cleanup easier across all Salesforce environments.

• Folder-Based Template Management: Quickly browse folders and identify templates that need removal.
• Faster Salesforce Cleanup: Reduce administrative overhead and keep orgs organized without repetitive manual work.

Steps to Delete Multiple Email Templates Using BOFC

Step 1. Open the BOFC Home > Click “Delete Email Templates”

Step 2. It will open below screen to Delete Email Templates. Select type of template as Classic or Lightning.

Step 3. Once the template type is selected, it will load all the folders of the templates for the selected type.

Step 4. Select the name of the folder and it will automatically load all the email templates. Select single or multiple templates (by pressing CTRL). Once ready, click on “Delete” button to initiate the process.

Step 5. Once the “Delete” button is clicked, it will delete the selected templates and will share the status on the page.
