Generate SQL queries to permanently delete all WooCommerce products (including variations) and related data. Always create a full database backup before running these queries.
Deleting WooCommerce products in bulk can be slow or unreliable when done through the WordPress admin. In development, staging, or cleanup scenarios, using SQL queries is often the fastest and most precise approach.
This tool helps you generate SQL queries to delete WooCommerce products safely, without executing anything automatically and without relying on plugins or admin actions.
Why Delete WooCommerce Products Using SQL?
WooCommerce stores product data across multiple database tables. When products are deleted incorrectly or partially, it can leave orphaned records that affect performance, reporting, or future imports.
Using SQL queries allows developers to:
- Delete WooCommerce products in bulk
- Remove product variations correctly
- Clean related metadata
- Reset test or staging environments quickly
- Prepare databases before fresh product imports
This approach is especially useful for developers working with large catalogs or automated workflows.
What This WooCommerce SQL Generator Does
This generator creates ready-to-run MySQL SQL queries that help you delete WooCommerce products directly from the database.
Depending on the generated queries, it can handle:
- WooCommerce products (
productpost type) - Product variations
- Related post meta
- Lookup and relational data used by WooCommerce
The tool does not execute the queries automatically. It only generates them, giving you full control over when and where they are applied.
How to Use the WooCommerce Delete Products SQL Generator
Using the tool is simple:
- Open the generator.
- Generate the SQL queries.
- Review the queries carefully.
- Run them manually in your MySQL database (for example, using phpMyAdmin).
The generated SQL is displayed in a readable code editor and can be copied to the clipboard with one click.
How to Run the SQL Queries
To apply the generated SQL queries, you need access to your WooCommerce database.
The most common method is using phpMyAdmin, which is available in most hosting control panels.
Run SQL Queries Using phpMyAdmin
- Open phpMyAdmin from your hosting dashboard.
- Select the WooCommerce database.
- Go to the SQL tab.
- Paste the generated SQL queries.
- Execute the queries.
Once executed, the selected WooCommerce products will be permanently removed.
Important Notes Before Deleting WooCommerce Products

- Always create a full database backup
- Test queries on a staging environment first
- Make sure you understand exactly which products will be deleted
- Remember that SQL deletions cannot be undone
This tool is intended for developers and advanced users who are comfortable working directly with databases.
