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
- Open Salesforce Inspector from the right side panel of your browser.
- Select Data Export from the Salesforce Inspector menu.
- 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.
- Click Run Export and Salesforce will extract and display the results for review and restoration.
