# isDeleted

A Boolean value that indicates whether the managed object will be deleted during the next save.

```
var isDeleted: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if Core Data will ask the persistent store to delete the object during the next save operation, otherwise <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>. It may return <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> at other times, particularly after the object has been deleted. The immediacy with which it will stop returning <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> depends on where the object is in the process of being deleted.

If the receiver is a fault, accessing this property does not cause it to fire.
