how to delete multiple order numbers at one time ?

If oyu have a lot of old orders that you want to delte all at once how do you do that ?

Please be gentle as I know very little and would appreciate detailed instructions.

I spent a hour searching for this answer and had no luck. I'm sure someone asks this question every day, sorry I am over tired trying to find this answer.

Thank you in advance for your help

Why??

If I were a customer and found that my order history was deleted...I would think you did not care for me as a customer

That is not what it is at all....

As a person in business, you should be responsive to what your actions might do to your clientle....

There is no built-in purge facility in Zen Cart at the present time. If you want to remove old records in large quantities, you'll need to do it manually by direct database access.
The tables related to order history are listed here:
