Re: Is there a way to mass delete attributes that are not being used?

When you say not being used ... do you mean you have an Option Name with Option Values and you want to delete that Option Name and all of its Option Values?

I mean all the option values not being used in the cart currently. Ones that are not attached to any products in the shopping cart.

If you need to delete a whole Option Name and all of its Option Values ... go to the Option Name Manager and hit Delete ... it will tell you if the Option Name is in use ...

If you need to delete Option Values ... hit delete ... it will tell you if the Option Value is being used on Products or not ...

Thank you but, I was just hoping there was a way to mass delete all the options name and values that are not being used in the products of the cart (dropdowns etc), I do not want to go through 170 pages.

Could write a script to do this ...

But there is nothing built in to do this at this time ...

Thank you that is very kind of you, I don't see a high demand for it but IF ever, I will be sure to take advantage of it. Thanks for all your help & being patient while I tried to explain what I needed.
