See How to run samples for information about how to run this sample.

The BulkDeleteRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to create the bulk delete request.

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

1. Checks for the current version of the org.
2. Creates an sample account record.
3. Queries for a system user to send an email to after the bulk delete operation completes.
4. The BulkDeleteRequest creates the bulk delete process and set the request properties.
5. The InspectBulkDeleteOperation method inspects and display the information about the created BulkDeleteOperation.
6. The RetrieveBulkDeleteOperation method retrieves the BulkDeleteOperation.

1. Checks whether the standard email templates are present.
2. The PerformBulkDelete method performs the main ulk delete operation.

Display an option to delete the sample data that is created in Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the entities and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
