For Salesforce Admins and Developers, Mass deleting custom fields across multiple objects can quickly turn into a slow and frustrating process. With Salesforce’s built-in approach, you have to open and remove each field one at a time—making bulk cleanup highly inefficient.

This manual effort doesn’t just waste valuable time, it also increases the risk of mistakes, especially during large-scale org cleanups or major restructuring.
