# Bulk Delete Rows

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

You can use the following bulk delete utility to delete multiple rows of data from a table in the Catalyst DataStore. The required table is referred to using its ID or name.

The required `ROWIDs` of the rows to be deleted needs to be passed as an array to the `deleteRows()` method. You can pass a maximum of **200 ROWIDs** at one time.

The `datastore` reference used in the following code snippet is the [component instance](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/cloudscale/datastore/get-component-instance/).

```javascript
const datastore = new Datastore(); // get datastore instance
const table = datastore.table("EmpDetails"); // Pass the table ID or table name
const row = await table.deleteRows([ // Pass the ROWIDs of the records to be deleted
  1028000000171815,
  1028000000171810,
  1028000000171805,
  1028000000171617,
  1028000000171098
]);
console.log(row);
```

> **Note:** You can delete a maximum of **200 rows** from a table at one time.
