Delete using Batches verified

Learn how to delete using batches (deleteBatch) in Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) with SSJS (server-side JavaScript). Code snippets include WSProxy methods.

Delete DataExtension records

var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

var batches = [
    {
        CustomerKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3",
        Keys: [
            {
                Name: "SubscriberKey",
                Value: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
            }
        ] 
    }
];

var result = api.deleteBatch("DataExtensionObject", batches);

<script runat="server">

    Platform.Load("core", "1");

    var api = new Script.Util.WSProxy();

	try {

        var batches = [
            {
                CustomerKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3",
                Keys: [
                    {
                        Name: "SubscriberKey",
                        Value: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
                    }
                ] 
            },
            {
                CustomerKey: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3",
                Keys: [
                    {
                        Name: "SubscriberKey",
                        Value: "S0M3-GU1D-K3Y-G03SR1G4T-H3R3"
                    }
                ] 
            }
        ];

        var result = api.deleteBatch("DataExtensionObject", batches);

        Write(Stringify(result));
		
	} catch(error) {
        Write(Stringify(error));
    }
