This topic explains how to use the Data Deletion Job API endpoints.
Important: Please ensure that you validate the data you are configuring through a data deletion job. This data would be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Introduction
You can delete data from the Oracle Unity data model and snapshots through the creation and running of data delete jobs. The Data Deletion Job API endpoints are used to delete data records from Oracle Unity data objects and snapshots. These jobs are configured using the Job API endpoints (like Import and Export Jobs). Running a data deletion job executes the criteria configured in the job, where the job will delete data records from the specified data objects or snapshots in Oracle Unity.
You have the following available methods for deleting data:
-
Through a data object that is used to ingest the data to be deleted, such as the ready-to-use DataDeletionRequest data object.
-
Delete all records in a data object.
-
Delete all records from Activation Snapshots.
-
Delete records using segments.
Use Cases
Here are some of the use cases to leverage these endpoints:
-
Deleting customer data to comply with mandated data privacy regulations.
- Deleting data that was ingested in error.
-
Deleting Activation Snapshots that are no longer valid.
Delete data through a Data Deletion Request data object
You can delete data by importing it into either the ready-to-use DataDeletionRequest data object or a custom data object you create for the purpose of storing data to be deleted. A data deletion job will read the data to delete in the data object and process the deletion. Learn more about Deleting data with a Data Deletion Request data object.
Delete all records in a data object
You can delete all records from selected data objects. Learn more about Deleting data objects.
Delete all records in an Activation Snapshot
You can delete all records from selected Activation Snapshots. Learn more about Deleting Activation Snapshots.
Delete records using Segments
