# Delete records

> Permanently delete Airtable records in provider-sized batches.

`deleteRecords` removes one or more records from the same table. Automate.ax
groups the IDs into Airtable's 10-record delete requests.

## Example

```ts automations/delete-airtable-records.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, onHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"
import { deleteRecords } from "automate.ax/airtable"

export default automation("Delete duplicate Airtable leads", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation" })
  deleteRecords({
    base: "CRM",
    table: "Leads",
    recordIds: ["recDuplicateOne", "recDuplicateTwo"],
  })
})
```

## Output

Returns `{ deleted: true; id: string }[]`, one receipt per deleted record.

<Warning>
  Deletion is permanent and batches are not transactional. If a later request
  fails, records deleted by earlier requests remain deleted.
