Delete WooCommerce Products by Stock, Name, Date Modified, etc. Without Import

In WooCommerce, deleting products in bulk is performed via their Bulk Actions > Move to Trash feature. Also, WooCommerce allows filtering products by category, product type, or stock availability and then deleting the filtered records.

But you may also need to delete products based on other criteria, for example: stock quantity (less or greater than…), product name containing some word (like “test”), products which have a sale price and more.

To perform these and other kinds of tasks related to deleting specific products, you need a flexible filtering tool. Such a tool is provided by Store Manager for WooCommerce.

Store Manager is a downloadable application that enhances the default WooCommerce functionality. It offers tools for bulk edits, advanced import/export, flexible sorting and filtering, database backup, and other tasks. If you don’t have Store Manager installed yet, download a free trial and install the application on your computer. Connect Store Manager to your store database following the Quick Start Guide.
