If I extract data from salesforce for an object using dataloader.io or dataloader, would it remove data too for that object from salesforce.

    Not unless you delete it.

No, you would have to do a delete. Extract with Dataloader is just a dump to a csv. So if you just do an export and don't then do a delete you're fine.

  • I don't know of anyway to delete data from Salesforce, other than expressly clicking delete or running a delete in apex or a delete with any data integration tool. I've never heard of just an export deleting data.
