            Remove Pending Approval Requests for Classic Approval Processes

            If you want to clean up old approval requests—such as to delete a classic approval process—remove them from your Salesforce org. After approval requests are removed, the associated records are unlocked and removed from all classic approval processes, so they no longer appear on the approver’s list of pending approval requests.

            Required Editions

            Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

            To remove multiple approval requests:

            Important Try Flow Approval Processes, a modern alternative to Classic Approval Processes. This new feature provides a more flexible, user-friendly flow-based interface, and it can trigger on record changes, supporting Apex extensibility and detailed logging for compliance and audit trails. It supports dynamic routing based on data and business rules, unlike Classic Approval Processes, which are tied to specific objects and offer limited support for processes by using conditions. With Flow Approval Processes, you can monitor submitted records and quickly identify bottlenecks, giving you unprecedented visibility into approval workflows. And, like Classic Approval Processes, Flow Approval Processes don’t consume automation credits or orchestration runs.
            1. From Setup, enter Mass Transfer Approval Requests in the Quick Find box, then select Mass Transfer Approval Requests.
            2. Search for the approval requests that you want to remove.
            3. Select Mass remove records from an approval process.
            4. Add comments.
              The comments you enter display on the Approval History related list.
            5. Select each approval request to remove from the classic approval process.
            6. Click Remove.
