# Bulk Delete

> Delete multiple business travel records and their associated emissions in a single request

# Bulk Delete

Permanently deletes multiple business travel records and their associated `total_impacts` rows in a single request. Records that belong to a different organization are reported as failed rather than raising an error. Progress is tracked via a processing job.

<Warning>
  **Permanent Action**: Deleted records cannot be recovered. The associated emissions data will also be removed from your organization's totals.
