Deleting All Data in Cart?

Hi, I've been doing some testing by uploading some products from my datafeed to my store. Am wondering, is there any easy way to delete all data in Zen Cart without doing it one by one.

THanks

You can completely wipe out EVERYTHING ... (not just products) by uploading the zc_install files and running zc_install just like it was a brand new store. After providing database credentials it will wipe out the entire store database (all users, customers, products, orders, sales, module settings, everything) and you'll be reset to a completely brand new fresh start.

Hi Doc.... But besides a clear and total wipe out, how can you quickly get rid of test products uploaded. Thanks again!

I don't know about 'quickly', but I just delete all categories from admin.

Yes, that works too ... however it leaves the "next product ID" set to whatever the highest already-used number was.

It really depends on what your specific needs are.

Also if using a tool such as EasyPopulate 4 by uploading product with a status of 9, the related product will be deleted. (Still have the same next product number issue described above.)
