# Retrieve and Update Information

Use the `deploy()` and `retrieve()` calls to move metadata (XML files) between Salesforce and a local file system. You can delete scoping rules by using the same procedure used to deploy components and including a delete manifest file.

|Required Editions|
|-----------------|
|Available in: Lightning Experience in **Performance**,**Unlimited**, and **Developer** editions.|

For more information, see [Deploying and Retrieving Metadata](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/file_based.htm) in the Metadata API Developer Guide.

If the `userCriteria` or `recordCriteria` field contains a Salesforce org ID and you’re deploying to a different org than the org you retrieved them from, modify the Salesforce ID first.

**note:** We recommend that you don’t update the value of `targetEntity` after a scoping rule is created. Instead, delete the scoping rule and create another one with the correct values.

To delete components, use the same procedure as with deploying components, but include a delete manifest file that’s named destructiveChanges.xml and lists the components to delete. To learn more, see Deleting Components from an Organization.
