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.

For more information, see Deploying and Retrieving Metadata 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.
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.
