2 of 5 measures had too little evidence to score. They are left out of the total rather than counted as zero — otherwise a plugin would be marked down for being small rather than for being poorly kept.Measured 2026-09-06 from the WordPress.org plugin registry.

Ratings

No one has rated this plugin on WordPress.org yet. That is a statement about the ratings page, not about the plugin — plenty of well-kept plugins never collect them.

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

Can I undo a bulk deletion?

If Force Delete is turned off, items are moved to trash and can be restored. With Force Delete enabled, deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. We strongly recommend taking a database backup first.

Will it ever delete administrator accounts?

No. Administrators and the currently logged-in user are always protected and will never be deleted, regardless of filters.

What happens if I have 50,000 orders to delete?

The batch limit (configurable in Settings, default 100) means only 100 items are deleted per request. Run the deletion multiple times until the Preview Count shows 0. This prevents PHP timeouts on shared hosting.

Does it work without WooCommerce?

Yes. If WooCommerce is not active, WooCommerce-specific entity types (orders, products, customers, coupons, reviews) are automatically disabled. All WordPress-native types work without WooCommerce.

Is it translation ready?

Yes. All user-facing strings are wrapped in standard WordPress i18n functions and the text domain is bulksweep.

What does Dry Run do?

Dry Run shows you how many items would be deleted by your current filters without actually deleting anything. It respects the batch limit. Use it to verify your filters are correct before committing to a real deletion.
