how to delete unpublished imports?

[TomS]

I'm about 2 weeks into putting a little store together and i can see the script has some good features. But it does pick up "extra" products each time i manually click on some to save.

and these "extras" i do not publish because they are not relevant.

now there is about 1500 of them all with photos, etc.

the problem is now the server times out and i can't see them do try to delete (i thought i got them deleled prior, but it looks like they just never go away.

i wanted to buy another script for the next project, buy i'm stalled now.

please let me know if there is a workaround for this.

thanks!
TomS.

As what I understand through your situation, you have some extra unpublished products in your store and you want to delete them all, but they just don't leave?

1. If you want to really delete a product and purge all of it's image from your server, choose a product, click Move To Trash and then move to Delete Permanently to remove them.

2. If you want to delete them fast, I tried to find a plugin to help you with it but I'm not sure. So I found a way for you to delete 100+ items in 1 go.




And then go to Trash, repeat the process and choose "Delete Permanently"

You can try 200 and 500 products instead of 100, I'm not sure if they'll work but 100 seems good. 1500 products will be deleted in 15 times

Hope this works and hope you'll find a better solution!
