# Deleting Order Management Records

Certain situations require that you delete Order Management records. For example, some records can contain customer personal information and are subject to data protection and privacy regulations. To maintain data integrity, before you delete records consider their dependencies and access restrictions on some of their data.

- **[Considerations for Deleting Order Management Records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.om_considerations_deleting_order_management_records.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Data protection and privacy policies can require deletion of records used in Order Management. Because many records share complex relationships, the order in which you delete them is important. If you delete a record before deleting another record that references it, the reference can cause errors.
- **[Deleting Information from Restricted Data Fields](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.om_deleting_information_restricted_data_fields.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Because some restricted fields can contain customer personal information, they’re subject to data privacy and protection policies. Compliance can require a user with appropriate permissions to mask or delete their values. Only a Salesforce admin or a user with the Edit Activated Orders permission can modify the restricted fields.
