Delete existing records in NocoDB tables as part of your workflows.

Use the **Delete Record** action node in NocoDB workflows to permanently remove records from a selected table. Use this node to clean up data, apply data retention policies, or remove records that no longer match defined conditions.

### Configuration

* **Table**: Select the table that contains the record to delete.
* **Record ID**: Specify the record to delete. You can use a record ID from a previous node, or map it from the workflow context.

### How it works

* When the workflow gets to the Delete Record node, the node finds the specified record in the selected table.
* The node permanently deletes the record from the table.
* The workflow then continues to the next nodes.

### Use cases

* Automatically remove old or expired records.
* Delete records that fail validation or business rules.
* Apply data lifecycle and retention policies with automated workflows.

## Availability

* Available on NocoDB Cloud (all plans) and licensed on-premise deployments.
