data delete record
Deletes a single record from a Salesforce or Tooling API object.
Specify the record you want to delete with either its ID or with a list of field-value pairs that identify the record. If your list of fields identifies more than one record, the delete fails; the error displays how many records were found.
When specifying field-value pairs, use the format <fieldName>=<value>. Enclose all field-value pairs in one set of double quotation marks, delimited by spaces. Enclose values that contain spaces in single quotes.
This command deletes a record from Salesforce objects by default. Use the –use-tooling-api flag to delete from a Tooling API object.
