docs/code-snippets/uninstall_remove_all_woocommerce_data.md
The WooCommerce plugin can be uninstalled like any other WordPress plugin. By default, the WooCommerce data is left in place though.
If you need to remove all WooCommerce data as well, including products, order data, coupons, etc., you need to to modify the site's wp-config.php before deactivating and deleting the WooCommerce plugin.
As this action is destructive and permanent, the information is provided as is. WooCommerce Support cannot help with this process or anything that happens as a result.
To fully remove all WooCommerce data from your WordPress site, open wp-config.php, scroll down to the bottom of the file, and add the following constant on its own line above /* That's all, stop editing. */.
define( 'WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true );
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
Then, once the changes are saved to the file, when you deactivate and delete WooCommerce, all of its data is removed from your WordPress site database.
WooCommerce uses Action Scheduler to run background tasks. Action Scheduler is a shared library that other plugins can also bundle, so its database tables (actionscheduler_actions, actionscheduler_claims, actionscheduler_groups and actionscheduler_logs) are not removed by WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA, even when the constant is set to true. Keeping them avoids deleting scheduled tasks that another active plugin might still rely on.
If you are certain that no other plugin on the site uses Action Scheduler, you can also remove those tables by adding the WC_REMOVE_ACTION_SCHEDULER constant alongside WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA in wp-config.php:
define( 'WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true );
define( 'WC_REMOVE_ACTION_SCHEDULER', true );
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
Both constants are required: WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA triggers the removal of WooCommerce data, and WC_REMOVE_ACTION_SCHEDULER additionally drops the Action Scheduler tables.
