# Delete several records

`POST https://your-suite.gtable.app/your-app/v1/tables/{tableId}/records/delete`

Deletes up to 500 records in one request.

> **Note: Generic contract**
>
> Your own version of this operation, with your tables and the fields you can read, is in
> your app's document: `https://{suite}.gtable.app/{app}/v1/openapi.json`, behind your credential.
> [Why each person gets their own](/docs/start/studio-and-runtime#why-an-app-has-an-api-of-its-own).

Each row goes through the same permission check as a single delete; a row you may not delete is reported in `failed` and does not stop the others. The batch is ONE entry in the op log, so `changesetId` undoes all of it at once.

Requires the `records:write` scope. Operation `records.deleteMany`. MCP tool `records_deleteMany`. CLI, once published: `gtable records delete-many`.
