Mass Delete Products
« on: January 28, 2018, 11:01:36 AM »
Hi, Is there any way to mass delete products as I have done an import, which it said failed.... When looking in my products page, there are now 3000 products there! Many duplicated so I don't know what has gone wrong!!  I know that I can select the Page and delete the items, but the maximum I can delete like this is 60, so it will take me forever!!

Many thanks in advance

Thanks I did have to do this but with 3000 products and only being able to delete 60 at a time, it was very tedious.  I didn't know if there was a table I could delete from?

Many thanks for your help

Hello.

Export it to CSV format and add new column with name action type delete in cells for each product

If you have some PHP skills, you can create a quick admin controller to delete products by calling this model function deleteProduct($product_id):

The rowNum param at the end of the URL can be used to control the number of products that appear on the page.

I had around 3000 that needed to be deleted. Trying to load them all at once froze my tab but they loaded fine 500 at a time.

/index.php?rt=catalog/product&s=user&token=token#rowNum=500
