Delete Items in Bulk

Steps

1. Navigate to Inventory > Items from the sidebar to access your complete item list. This is where all your products are managed, and it serves as the starting point for any bulk operation.
2. Click the "Select Multiple" or "Bulk Actions" option at the top of the items list. This switches the view into selection mode, where checkboxes appear next to each item for easy multi-select.
3. Use filters such as category, stock status, or search keywords to narrow down your item list before selecting. Filtering first ensures you only see items relevant to your cleanup, reducing the chance of accidentally selecting active products.
4. Select the items you want to delete by checking their individual boxes. You can also use Select All to select all items visible after applying your filters, which speeds up the process when cleaning out an entire category.
5. Double-check the selected items count displayed at the top of the screen to verify you have the right number of items selected before proceeding. This simple verification step can prevent costly mistakes.
6. Click "Delete Selected" from the bulk actions menu. This opens a confirmation dialog that lists every item you are about to delete, giving you one last chance to review your selection.
7. Review the list of items in the confirmation dialog carefully. Pay special attention to items that may have existing transactions — these will be flagged as items that will be archived rather than permanently deleted, preserving your financial records.
8. Click "Confirm Delete" to permanently remove the selected items from your inventory. Items with transaction history will be moved to the archive instead, keeping your reports and invoices accurate while removing them from your active list.
