"unable to obtain exclusive access to this record"
Running dataloader to delete accounts in production. Operation taking a long time and ultimately getting "unable to obtain exclusive access to this record". My timeout setting is 540 seconds. Here's the strange part. I did a restore to my full sandbox and ran the same exact delete and it went perfectly and only took about 15 mins. Please help, this is holding up a prod deploy.
This is something temporary and would be fixed automatically in 10-15 minutes maximum.
Some common causes are:
Sharing Rules are being calculated.
A picklist value has been replaced and replacement is in progress.
A custom index creation/removal is in progress.
Most unlikely one - someone else is already editing the same record that you are trying to access at the same time.
