Bulk delete thousands of products — quickly and painlessly in the Magento 2 admin panel
Do you have thousands of outdated or incorrect products in your Magento 2 store? Does trying to delete them manually from the admin panel end with errors, system freezes, or... losing an entire day? This module was created specifically to solve that problem.
What can this Magento module do?
Deletes products in the background after the queue processing process is started; the administrator does not wait for the entire operation to complete within a single request.
Does not require writing any scripts or lines of code
Deletion is performed sequentially in the queue process, outside the admin panel request. It still uses server resources; the load depends on the configuration and catalog.
The topic of deleting related images mentioned earlier in the description requires separate confirmation: the verified consumer does not trigger gallery file cleanup.
Logs the entire process, giving you full control
Who is this Magento module for?
This module is ideal for:
Magento 2 store administrators who want to delete a large number of products
Users who frequently synchronize products with wholesalers and want to regularly clean outdated data
Companies looking for a stable and secure solution without hiring a developer
Without this module
Manual product deletion takes forever
Trying to delete products in bulk from the admin panel often ends with errors or Magento freezing
You have to write custom scripts, which requires technical knowledge and carries the risk of errors
With this module
You add products for deletion, e.g. by SKU
The module deletes them on its own, in the background, in stages
You save time, space, and frustration
The queue must be processed
The mass action adds jobs to the kowal.delete_product queue. Saving to the queue does not yet mean the product has been deleted. The deployment configuration must run the Magento consumer that processes jobs sequentially.
Catalog handling does not require writing your own deletion script. Preparing the queue process and verifying operation in a given environment remains part of the implementation.
Products, images, and the actual scope
The consumer deletes products through the Magento repository and attempts to remove their URL rewrites. It records errors and processing time in the logs.
The earlier description mentioned automatic deletion of related images. In the verified code, this call is inactive; the package does not provide grounds to promise cleanup of unused image files. This scope must be confirmed or implemented separately.
Staged deletion and result control
The queue moves the work outside the original admin panel request, but it still uses server resources. Adjust the startup method and processing limit to the size of the catalog.
The operation permanently deletes the selected products; it is not archiving. Before starting, check your selection and backup. After completion, review the logs and confirm the result in the catalog — a failed message may be marked as handled and may not retry automatically.
Installation via Composer
Package kowal/module-deleteproductsqueue, module Kowal_DeleteProductsQueue. After configuring access to the Kowal repository, install the package, enable the module, update Magento, and clear the cache. In production, include compilation and static content deployment according to your store process.
From configuration to results
1. You select products You filter and select items in the Magento catalog.
2. You send them to the queue The admin panel adds deletion jobs by SKU.
3. The process handles the jobs The running consumer deletes products and writes logs.
Catalog cleanup after synchronization
After updating a wholesaler offer, you identify outdated products. The selected items go to the queue, which is handled by the running Magento process.
Before requesting deletion, you check the selection and backup. The queue performs the actual product deletion.
* In a production environment, it is recommended to use the --keep-generated option
Type: Composer
Add the Composer repository to the configuration:
Access details for the Composer repository, the customer email address and license token, will be sent to you by email after purchase. They are also available in the customer panel after logging in at kowal.store. Replace TWOJ_EMAIL_KLIENTA with the email address of your account and TWOJ_TOKEN with the token you received. Run the commands in the Magento root directory.
Does the module allow you to bulk delete a large number of products without risking the store freezing?

Answer
No — the module works through the Magento 2 admin panel and does not require writing code or running special scripts.
Question
Does the module also delete related product images so it doesn’t leave “junk” on the disk?
Answer
Yes — the module description states that it automatically deletes related images that could take up unnecessary space.

Answer
Yes — the module offers process logging, allowing you to have full control over the bulk deletion operation.

Question
Can deleting a large number of products affect the store’s performance?
