Only Creators can perform this action. The project must be locked, and deletion applies to one project at a time. Data is not recoverable—backup first! {% hint style="danger" %} Deleting project entries in bulk is permanent—**data cannot be recovered** once deleted. It is strongly recommended that a backup be performed before proceeding. {% endhint %} #### Requirements 1. The project must be set as **locked;** To maintain data integrity and avoid race conditions, the project must first be set to **locked** status before deletion can begin. This ensures that no new entries are added or modified during the process. 2. Only users with the **Creator** role can execute this operation. Additionally, deletion is restricted to **one project at a time** to prevent excessive server load.
