Delete Items in Bulk

Over time, your inventory may accumulate discontinued products, duplicate entries, or test items that are no longer needed. The Delete Items in Bulk feature lets you select multiple items and remove them from your inventory in one operation. This keeps your item list clean and makes it easier to find active products. Note: deleting items is permanent and items with existing transaction history may be archived instead of fully deleted.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Inventory > Items from the sidebar.
  2. Click the "Select Multiple" or "Bulk Actions" option.
  3. Select the items you want to delete by checking their boxes.
  4. Use filters (category, stock status) to help find items to delete.
  5. Click "Delete Selected" from the bulk actions menu.
  6. Review the list of items to be deleted in the confirmation dialog.
  7. Click "Confirm Delete" to permanently remove the selected items.

Tip: Items with existing transaction history (sales, purchases) cannot be permanently deleted โ€” they will be archived instead. This preserves your financial records and report accuracy.

Common Questions

Items that are archived (due to existing transactions) can be restored. However, items that are permanently deleted cannot be recovered. Always review the confirmation dialog carefully before confirming the deletion.

No, existing invoices and reports that reference deleted items will retain their data. The items are removed from your active inventory list only. Historical records remain intact.
