    Hello, it is not possible to delete reports using data loader, you can only extract reports data through Dataloader. A report object is a ReadOnly object if accessed by Dataloader or any other API tool.

    You can use the inbuilt Mass Delete Report option from the setup menu or use either eclipse or some other IDE's to delete the reports in mass.

    Thanks.

    Yes, It is possible now. It is the same as how we do the delete operation in the data loader, we should copy the id of the report in the CSV file and delete it.
    Note:

    • We can delete only when the “Use bulk API” is not enabled in the data loader settings
    • we can’t delete the report that is added as a component in the dashboard

    Thank you
