I have a few Salesforce reports that are no longer being used and have never been run. I tried to bulk delete them using Sales Inspector. Some of the reports were deleted successfully, but a few failed with the following error:
DELETE_FAILED: cannot delete a report referenced by one or more dashboard components.
What is the recommended way to resolve this issue and delete these unused reports?
Also, is there a way to identify all dashboard components that reference a particular report before attempting to delete it?
#Salesforce Developer #Salesforce Admin #Trailhead #TrailblazerCommunity #Reports & Dashboards #AwesomeAdmins #Agentblazer
Build this custom report type is the easiest way.
Find Old Or Inactive Reports And Dashboards To Delete | Salesforce HelpThen add a filter on report name and you can easily find which dashboard(s) are referencing the report you want to delete.
If you are still getting the error, then the report is likely stored in a private folder, so follow this guide:
