Deleting all Products

Is there a way to delete all the products form the the store without having to go through and delete them all individually?

Thanks

Rob

Re: Deleting all Products

You can delete the category. This will delete all products under it. Then, if you want the category - re-create a new one with the same name.

There are a few issues with this... eg: if someone is online and is busy shopping, they may not like the rug being pulled from under them. Also, if registered customers have saved shopping carts in the dbase you can sometimes end up with a situation where their saved shopping carts remain, but cannot cross-reference the product tables.

Re-setting ID's can be tricky too, order history can get fouled up.

You can also use easypopulate... I'm NOT SURE of the setting to use (check it in the forum) for the V-PRODUCTS_STATUS, but it's something like "9".
