# Delete several records, as the builder

`POST https://studio.gtable.app/v1/apps/{appId}/tables/{tableId}/records/delete`

Deletes up to 500 records in one request.

A row that refuses 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 `apps.records.deleteMany`. MCP tool `apps_records_deleteMany`. CLI, once published: `gtable apps records delete-many`.
