# Delete products

This article explains how to delete products in Acendy, and when you should consider deactivating a product instead of deleting it.

## Important before deleting a product

**Deletion cannot be undone!**  
  
When a product is deleted:

-   it is **permanently** removed from the system
-   it can **not** be restored
-   you lose **all** **associated history**

If the product should only be removed temporarily, it is recommended to **deactivate the product** instead of deleting it. [See how to deactivate a product here!](https://acendy.productfruits.help/en/article/activating-and-deactivating-products)

## When should I deactivate instead of delete?

Deactivate the product if:

-   the product has been sold previously
-   the product exists in orders, reports, or accounting
-   the product may become relevant again later
-   you want to preserve item number, prices, and sales history

Delete the product **only** if:

-   it is a **test product**
-   it was created by a **mistake**
-   the product has **never** been used

## Delete product from product catalog

1.  Go to **Products → Products** in the control panel
2.  Click on the product you want to delete
3.  Click **Delete**
4.  Select:
5.  -   **Delete from this category**, or
    -   **Delete from all categories**
6.  Confirm the action

## Deleting products via Bulk editor

1.  Go to **Products → Bulk editor**
2.  Check the products you want to delete
3.  Click **Bulk editor**
4.  Select **Delete**
5.  Confirm the action
6.  Click **Start**

## Important to know

-   Deletion is **permanent**
-   The action cannot **be undone**
-   The product cannot be restored by customer service
-   **You**lose all history **associated with the product**

If you are unsure: **deactivate the product instead of deleting it**
