How to Recover Deleted Data in Salesforce

Use this interactive demo to learn how to retrieve deleted records in Salesforce using Inspector.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to recover deleted data in Salesforce using the Salesforce Inspector browser extension and a targeted SOQL query to locate records still sitting in the Recycle Bin. By running a Data Export with IsDeleted = TRUE and ALL ROWS, admins can surface and restore lost records without needing third-party backup tools.


Steps

  1. Open Salesforce Inspector from the right side panel of your browser.
  2. Select Data Export from the Salesforce Inspector menu.
  3. In the new query window, enter a SOQL query using SELECT with your input fields and IsDeleted, FROM your object, ALL ROWS, and WHERE IsDeleted = TRUE to find deleted records still in the Recycle Bin.
  4. Click Run Export and Salesforce will extract and display the results for review and restoration.

📌 Why this matters

Accidental data deletion in Salesforce can disrupt sales pipelines, customer records, and compliance reporting. Salesforce's built-in Recycle Bin only surfaces deleted records if you know how to query them — and most users don't. By using Salesforce Inspector's Data Export with an IsDeleted SOQL query, admins can instantly locate and recover deleted records without expensive third-party backup software. This capability is essential for any team that needs reliable data governance and fast recovery within their Salesforce org.
