Sumant Kuchipudi How can we bulk delete Content Bodies?
Hi,
I have sandbox and we are cleaning up the data for fresh loads, we were able to bulk delete records(dataloader) on Standard and Custom objects but I can't find the way to delete the Content Bodies. All these content (files) recrods childs to Accounts, I think when we delete all Accounts these Contents should have been deleted but I still see the Content Bodies in Storage Usage page.

Refer below salesforce help article.
The steps to mass delete files from content using the dataloader are:
1. Export the ContentVersion object (do not reuse your successfile of the content upload!)
2. Don't us the ID of the ContentVersion, but use the CONTENTDOCUMENTID (which is the second column in your export file)
3. Use only those CONTENTDOCUMENTID's where "LastVersion"=TRUE
4. Than mass delete the object "ContentWorkspaceDocument". The ID you need is the CONTENTDOCUMENTID described above.
