    Hi Hareram,

    If the recors have the AccessRightsMask and InheritedAccessRightsMask = 0 then they should be automatically picked up by the deletion service and removed from the system. This is an async maintenance job that runs every  24 hours (see blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../crm-2013-maintenance-jobs)

    I'd check if there were any errors when the deletion service ran ( SQL Timeouts, etc.) and address those.

    Also, i would advise not to make any operations directly on the CRM DB as this is unsupported and can leave the DB in a faulted state (cause orphaned records if the references aren't properly disposed of)

    Regards,

    Radu

    Hi Hareram,

    This is a good question. I don't know why they would have changedon NULL. Could it be possible that someone altered the database directly in the past? Still, even if the changedon is NULL i don't think this should in any way influence the POA behavior (meaning that permissions are not granted).

    I would test this scenario and see if the sharing permissions for a record having the changedon = NULL are not respected. In that case i would reach out to MS Support directly for assistance for cleaning that up.

    Regards

    Radu
