# Entries Bulk Deletion

{% 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.
