Prerequisite: The record must have inline-editing enabled:

1. Start with a List of the instances you want to delete. This can be the actual list of record instances. Some examples of this include:

a. Navigating through Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Record Types and clicking “List” on the relevant row.

b. On the Custom Record Type page, clicking “More” in the upper righthand corner and then “View Records”.

c. Using the search bar to navigate to “Page: myRecordType”.

d. The results of a saved search (recommended).

2. On the page, the inline-editing toggle must be on, and at least one of the columns shown must be inline-editable:

3. Click in any of the editable properties in the topmost instance you want to delete so it appears as editable.

4. Hold Shift and click on the same editable property in the bottommost instance. A thin dotted line will appear around the instances selected.

5. On the far left of the results, there is a green icon that will appear if you hover to the left of the first column. Clicking this icon on the first record and going to “Delete Record” will pop up a confirmation about deleting “all selected records”. Clicking OK will delete the records and reload the page.
