## Important Notes

<Warning>
  **Deletion Limitations:**

  * Maximum 25 records can be deleted per request
  * Only records within the specified worklist can be deleted
  * Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone
  * Ensure you have the correct record IDs before proceeding
</Warning>

<Tip>
  **Best Practices:**

  * Verify record IDs exist before attempting deletion
  * Use batch operations for multiple deletions to improve efficiency
  * Keep a backup of important records before deletion
  * Monitor the response for any partial failures
</Tip>

<Info>
  **Batch Processing:**

  * The system processes all record IDs in a single request
  * If some records fail to delete, the response will include detailed error information
  * Partial failures are possible - some records may be deleted while others fail
</Info>
