Delete products

[fairestcape]

It can be done via sql. (Though I'm not a sql expert...)

I use EasyPopulate module to manage MASS updates/additions/deletions in my stores

With easypopulate, 600 deletions should take you no more than 15 minutes.

Open the WIKI and search for Easy Populate for a tutorial.

EasyPopulate 1.2.5.5 can be downloaded in the free add ons section (link at top of page).

Thanks! I do have ezpopulate running, but did not know products could be deleted!

I suppose I should have asked... how do I do this?

v_status

This controls it.

• v_status = 1 (Product is active and displays in shop)

• v_status = 0 (Product is inactive and does not display in shop - equivalent to being "out of stock")

• v_status = 9 (DELETE Product - will also remove associated images).

In the WIKI, there is a good tutorial on Easy Populate. (Go to the WIKI (link above) search for Easy Populate (2 words) and click "Go" button.

exactly what I'm looking for for EasyPop

6500+ products takes a bit longer than 15min., but I've got all day

BTW, does this delete categories and groups as well?

No, categories and groups stay there - but these are easy and quick to remove via admin panel (unless you have 1000's of categories )
