Deleting and Restoring Documents

In ERPNext, you can delete a document if not needed. They can be masters like Items, Customer or transactions like Sales Order, Payment Entries, etc.

To delete a document, you can go to the dropdown menu of the document and select 'Delete'.

For bulk deletion, you can select multiple Cancelled records and delete them at once from the List View.

Note: Any submittable document will not be deleted after submission. To delete a submitted document, you will be required to first 'cancel' the document.
