Deleting multiple products

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

Perhaps I'm overlooking it, but seem not  to be able to find it:

How can I delete multiple products?  Products are in different categories (some in no category)...
I need to delete about 30 products out of the database, as they were a test...
Do I really have to go into each (sub) category, in order to find them and delete them, or do a list  of all products and delete them 1 by 1?  There must be an easier way?

Also:
As these were "test" products, I also like to have  them removed from the DB.. 
I know you can use purgeproducts.asp  but here also I can only do 1 by 1 or ALL products.. As there are a few products I like to keep, this last one is not an option for me...

	Hi, Use "Products > Locate a Product" and then enter either the SKU or a suitable keyword, so no need to go into the categories. 30 products won't take long.

	I know this post is old, but it applies to me yet again.. however, this time with +/- 1500 products! Good thing is: they're all assigned in 1 category. Is there a way to delete this products in 1 time or is it yet again... 1 by 1 ??
