    Hi All,

    If I have a number of different orders containing product X and I then delete product X from my site, will the WooCommerce reporting data still show the sales of product X?

    Many thanks

  • Hello @ben1390 ,

    If you delete the orders (make them trashed and then cleared the trash folder) the reports will not show those reports anymore. Make sure to clear your browser cache after deleting the orders.

    You can learn more about deleting sales/orders from WooCommerce repors here – How do I reset the report?

    I hope the information helps.

    Thank you ??

    Hi @rur165

    I wouldn’t be deleting the orders, only the products within those orders.

    Many thanks

    Hello @ben1390 ,

    This is an interesting question.

    WooCommerce reports are generated dynamically from the order data. If you notice closely, you will notice that deleting the products does not remove the order data from WooCommerce. So, reports will not remove the data. It will show the order values even when the products are deleted that are attached to that particular order.

    I hope this clears the confusion.

    Thank you ??
