To delete cases: Delete on cases

To delete a case, click Del next to the case on the cases list page, or click Delete on the case detail page. The Del link and Delete button do not display for users who do not have the “Delete” permission on cases.

To delete a case from a Cases related list in Lightning Experience, click Del next to the case. You can’t delete a case from the Cases related list in Salesforce Classic.

The deleted case is moved to the Recycle Bin. If you undelete the case, any related items are also restored.

Note
Note If you delete an event, task, case comment, or attachment from a case—and then delete the case— the event, task, case comment, or attachment cannot be restored via undelete.
