BulkSweep – Bulk Deleter

BulkSweep is a fast, safe, and easy-to-use admin tool that lets you delete any WordPress or WooCommerce data in bulk — with smart filters, a live count preview, dry-run mode, batch processing, and a full activity log.

Supported Entity Types

WooCommerce (requires WooCommerce)

• Orders — filter by status and date range

• Products — filter by status and date

• Customers — filter by date range (role: customer/subscriber)

• Coupons — bulk remove discount codes

• Product Reviews

WordPress Core

• Posts — filter by status and date

• Pages — filter by status and date

• Media / Attachments — removes files from disk too

• Comments — filter by status and type (comment, pingback, trackback)

• Users (non-admin) — administrators are always protected

• Terms & Taxonomies — categories, tags, product attributes

Key Features

• Filter-Based Bulk Delete — target items by status, date range, taxonomy and more

• Specific ID Mode — paste a list of IDs for surgical single or multi-item deletion

• Dry Run Mode — preview exactly what would be deleted without deleting anything

• Live Preview Count — see how many items match your filters before you act

• Batch Processing — configurable batch limit prevents PHP timeouts on large sites

• Force Delete or Trash — choose permanent deletion or move to trash

• Double Confirmation — checkbox + JS confirm dialog prevents accidents

• Activity Log — every operation logged with user, type, count and timestamp (last 200 entries)

• WooCommerce Detection — WC entity types are automatically disabled if WooCommerce is not active

• Admin-protected — administrators and the currently logged-in user are always safe

• Translation Ready — all strings wrapped in i18n functions

How to Use

• Go to BulkSweep in the WordPress admin sidebar

• Choose a data type from the left panel

• Set your filters (status, date range, etc.)

• Click Preview Count to see how many items match

• Enable Dry Run to simulate without deleting (recommended for first run)

• Check the confirmation checkbox and click Delete Now

Safety Recommendations

• Always take a full database backup before running bulk deletions

• Use Dry Run first to verify the count is what you expect

• Start with a small batch size (50–100) on shared hosting

• Check the Activity Log after each run
