# Delete a Product

How to access on Fynd Commerce 
Commerce Panel → Products → My products

You can disable a product instead of deleting it. Click [product availability](/commerce/docs/products/overview-product-creation#product-availability) to know more.

If you are sure that you want to delete a product, we still insist that you first disable the product, and then delete it as shown in the videos below. Not disabling the product and deleting it might result in imageless products on your website.

## Inactive a product or Delete a product

Product deletion is an irreversible process. Once deleted, it cannot be restored. You will have to create it again.

1. You might want to make a product unavailable on all your sales channels instead of deleting it. Use the toggle button in the **Product Availability** section of the product. This is a safe way of keeping the product hibernated for future use without actually deleting it.
2. Go back to the product you wish to delete. Next, go to **Edit** → **Edit Inventory**.
3. Remove the existing inventory (if any) of the product.
4. Go back to the **All Products** page, find the product you wish to delete, and click **Edit** → **Delete Product**.
5. Confirm the deletion of the product.


Your product is successfully deleted. It will no longer appear on the platform and your sales channel(s).

## Delete multiple product sizes using Excel

You can delete specific product sizes in bulk using the export and import functionality in the Commerce Panel. This approach is useful when you want to retain the product but remove only selected size variants.

You can’t delete **all sizes** of a product using this method. To remove all sizes, delete the entire product instead.

### Step 1: Export product data

1. Sign in to the **Commerce Panel**.
2. Go to **Products** > **My products**.
3. Use the filters to:
  * Select the appropriate **product type** (Standard, Set, Composite, or Digital)
  * Select the relevant **department**
  * Select the appropriate **template**
4. Download the product data file.


### Step 2: Prepare the file for deletion

1. Open the exported file in Excel.
2. Delete all rows **except** those with the **product sizes you want to delete**.
3. Ensure only rows for **specific sizes** to be deleted are present.
4. Delete all columns except the following:
  * **item_code**
  * **brand**
  * **size**
5. Add a new column titled **command** (lowercase or uppercase).
6. In the **command** column, enter `Delete` in each row corresponding to the size you want to remove.


Ensure there are no extra rows. If there are sizes of the same product you **don’t want to delete**, remove them from the sheet.

### Step 3: Import the deletion file

1. Go back to the **Commerce Panel**.
2. Go to **Products** > **Import**.
3. Choose:
  * **Product**
  * The same **product type**, **department**, and **template** used during export.
4. Upload the updated file.
5. Review the preview screen, then confirm the upload to start the deletion process.


### Step 4: Monitor deletion status

1. Go to **Upload history** to check the status:
  * Pending, Completed, or Failed
2. Select the file name to view detailed results.
3. Use **Refresh** to update the file status if necessary.


## Delete multiple products using Excel

You can delete products in bulk by exporting product data, modifying it, and reuploading it using the bulk import tool.

### Step 1: Export product data

1. Sign in to the **Commerce Panel**.
2. Go to **Products** > **My products**.
3. Use the filters to:
  * Select the **product type**
  * Choose the correct **department**
  * Select the applicable **template**
4. Download the product data file.


This export process is the same as exporting for size deletion.

### Step 2: Prepare the file for deletion

1. Open the exported file.
2. Delete all rows **except** those for the **products you want to delete** (including all their sizes).
3. For products with multiple size rows:
  * Keep only **one primary row** per product.
  * Delete the rows containing **repeated item_code** entries for sizes.
4. You should now have **one row per product** to be deleted.
5. Delete all columns except:
  * **item_code**
  * **brand**
6. Add a new column named **command**.
7. In each row, enter `Delete` in the **command** column.


### Step 3: Import the deletion file

1. Go back to the **Commerce Panel**.
2. Go to **Products** > **Import**.
3. Select:
  * **Product**
  * The same **product type**, **department**, and **template**
4. Upload your file.
5. Review the preview screen to verify the entries, then select **Upload**.


### Step 4: Monitor deletion status

1. Go to **Upload history** to track the status:
  * Pending, Completed, or Failed
2. Select the uploaded file name to see the results.


## Alternative method: Delete products using item code

If you remember the **item_code** and **brand** of products you want to delete, you can use a simplified approach.

### Step 1: Create a new Excel file

1. Create a new file with the following columns:
  * **item_code**
  * **brand**
  * **command**
2. In each row:
  * Enter the item code and brand of the product.
  * Enter `Delete` in the **command** column.


### Step 2: Upload the file

1. Go to **Products** > **Import** in the Commerce Panel.
2. Choose:
  * **Product**
  * Select the applicable **product type**, **department**, and **template**
3. Upload the deletion file.
4. Proceed through the preview and confirm the upload.


The deletion process via import is the same as described in the steps above.
