Deleting multiple products?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   How do I delete multiple products? I have about 50 BTO products, all with a similar SKU with a "QS_" prefix. I'd like to remove them all from our store. I tried going to the category they're in and viewing the products, but there is no delete button on that page.

It seems the only way to get that Delete button is to do a product search with the SKU. That brings up a list of the matching products, each with a Delete button off to the right (along with other buttons like view, clone).

However, every time I click Delete on one of those products, I have to restart the whole search to get the list back.

Is there any way to tell ProductCart to "Delete all products in the store who's SKU starts with QS_"?

*edit*

I don't want to make these products inactive by doing a global change and setting Active to false, but actually delete these products so they don't keep crowding my search results.
